So what is the point behind the original post? Is there a question or a comment? It's a strange statement on its own. ETA: Nevermind, I just found this post over in the candle/lotion thread, although not sure why it was used here to start another. This subject has been brought up and discussed dozens of times here, a search will reveal. General opinion is that they are a bad idea. Too many unknowns (fragrance oils vs. edible oils, the hot wax/burn/fire issue, skin safe oils and/or dyes, etc) and too many people throw these together to make a quick buck and really don't know, or care to know, what they're doing. And yes, we all have probably consumed wax at some point, it's used on many foods we buy every day, but the quantity is miniscule, and it must be an FDA approved wax fit for consumption. Not all waxes, soy or paraffin, are safe to injest, and I wouldn't take the chance. Maybe the big-boys I would trust, but not most unknown independents unless I've really done my research on them and trust them and their ingredients. But, I still think they're a bad idea.
