Despite the passing of more than 200 years since the Duke of Wellington's triumph over Napoleon's forces in 1815, only two skeletons of fallen men have been found, with the most recent discovery coming last month.
But now, bombshell new research suggests the remains of men and tens of thousands of horses are missing because they were ground down and used to filter brown sugar beet into refined white sugar.

What. The. Fuck. Ground up to make sugar?!
ReplyDeleteThe bones were made into charcoal to filter the brown color out to make white sugar.
DeleteSoylent Green got its start 150 years ago with the bones of dead soldiers. Biden hears about this he will think its aGreen Idea.
ReplyDeleteWhy does the green grass grow?
ReplyDeleteBlood blood blood
DeleteWaste not, want not.
ReplyDeleteI'd be skeptical, but seeing what's coming out of the EU - and Canada, and here - you have to be *really* trusting to not put some sort of credence on this sort of story.
ReplyDeleteIt's accepted as historical fact that a huge amount of Waterloo skeletons were ground up for use as fertilizer.
ReplyDeleteThe first wave of Waterloo scavengers came for healthy young teeth to make dentures.
ReplyDeleteThe original owners didn't need them anymore.
Ground and roasted to make charcoal, which was used to filter the brown out of the sugar. Bone charcoal is still used in the food industry, but the source is animal bones now.
ReplyDeleteNot news. Shiploads were apparently brought to the UK, ground down and spread on the land. Ashes to ashes, bone fragments to fertiliser . . .
ReplyDeleteDon't forget about the mummy brown. A special brown pigment made from ground up mummies out of egypt.
ReplyDeleteDon't dare ask the righteous English how they made bone china in London...https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_china
ReplyDeletefunny how such a small area can have so many bodies yet still have room for more...https://pottersfields.co.uk/potters-field-park/history-potters-fields-park/
That wikipedia article states that they used the abundant supply of animal bones from the cattle markets and slaughterhouses. Which is logical and not at all scandalous. *Shrug*
DeleteThanks though, I never knew bone china was invented in England! Learn something every day!
