WHY WOULD YOU EVEN WANT TO EAT MOSS.
In a country where you can literally buy a lot of good food for less than 5 dollars, you're going to want to be some snooty person and pay 25 bucks for moss.
That makes me angry >(

Being a curious person, I went to find out what exactly Irish Moss is-- it's actually the seaweed that carrageenan gum (a stabilizer/thickener found in things like commercial ice cream) is made out of. I know this makes the joke less funny, but if you're a raw foodie who wants to
blend make something that has a thicker consistency or that will set up as a custard in, for instance, a pie, Irish Moss is the raw thickener being used.
Raw food's still dumb, but that part's apparently slightly less dumb than it appeared at first glance.
