You can get edible gold sheets for around 10 bucks.
Goes to show how much those restaurant selling gold covered steak for thousands of dollars are a rip-off.
Seeing gold sheet on food is an immediate red flag for me. Pretentious and useless, it's a strong sign a restaurant is trying to sell mediocre food at an inflated price. Other red flags are truffle and foie gras, although those can legitimately taste delicious, if you see the triple combo gold, truffle, foie gras there is a 95% chance it's horseshit.
Lol as opposed to.... Any other type of meat? I don't think any meat where they are raised to be shot in the head in an assembly line is "cruelty free"
I used to work for a fairly well known dairy company. Guess what happens to baby boy cows.
You just happen to be aware of foi gras and how they are raised/slaughtered.
Typically they don’t shoot animals in the head. Unless you are a dickhead who isn’t using the animals for meat.
It’s a waste to kill the baby male cows for no reason. You can slaughter for veal
Larger animals such as cows will probably be killed by a bolt gun or captive bolt, which is basically a piece of metal shooting into your brain and instantly killing you
Animals must be rendered surgically insensible before slaughter per USDA requirements
Other animals are rendered surgically through other mechanisms, including Electrical stunning, (note: the animal muscles may twitch due to electrical activity, so this “looks bad”) gas, and other mechanisms.
I highly recommend people look into Temple Grandin. She has several YouTube videos that highlight her work and some misconceptions.
Look man, I worked at a very large dairy farm. Don't send me you tube links, I saw how it went down. Don't kid yourself, there isn't a cruelty free way to slaughter creatures.

The world isn’t black and white, there are spectra. I’m not saying meat isn’t cruel, just that some forms of meat are more cruel than others.
FWIW, I’m neither vegan nor vegetarian, but I have made an effort to reduce my meat consumption.
The only way that would work is if the gold is on the outside of the poo. Odds are that it will not be on the surface in amounts that would be noticeable.
One of gold's amazing properties is that it doesn't chemically react to almost anything. It doesn't oxidize, is almost impossible to corrode, and doesn't get eaten away by most acids, including stomach acid.

Foie gras makes me sad. It’s usually cruel, produced by force-feeding animals. There are ways to make it humanely but they are rarely carried out.
But damn is it good. I don’t eat it anymore, but I have had it a couple of times and loved it.

It adds nothing except people can post shit on their Instagram
Literally.
Wait, is Instagram cool with that now? Asking for a friend.
Only one way to find out. Report back your findings 😂
Those are not usually real gold though.
No
But some glitter definitely comes through, as well as methylene blue
You'll shit smurfs
It's funny to dose someone's coffee or coke with it, because they'll pee green
Snorting methylene blue sounds risky
It would definitely be unpleasant
The only way that would work is if the gold is on the outside of the poo. Odds are that it will not be on the surface in amounts that would be noticeable.
Or sparkly diarrhea could leave gold flake all over the bowl
Your shit would definitely have some in it since it isn't digestible. It would come out the same way it went in.
Wait, you shit out of your mouth?
I'm not fully convinced the acid in your stomach would cause the gold to change color

Yeah unless your stomach is producing aqua regia that gold's coming out the exact same way it went in.
I’ve never had a gold leaf thing, aside from a shot of goldschlager, but I have wondered this
Maybe the next time I make a dessert I’ll pick up some flavorless, odorless gold to really take my treat to the next level. What a stupid trend
Yes but you would need to eat a lot
Goldschlager doesn't cost considerably more than any other bottle of booze.
No
Proceeds to sleep
:( it's for science...
