How the cookie crumbles

The Union Cabinet recently had a long discussion on what happens to the hair that is donated in Tirupati. One minister explained to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the hair meets with a bizarre fate. Apparently, the strong and long hair is bought by the wig and hair extension industry. But the weaker hair is sold to some East Asian and Gulf countries, which then grind it to a mush. This revolting mixture is then sold to the biscuit industry! The PM listened to this incredible account till the end. "Is that so," he is said to have asked the minister when he was narrating it. No one thought of asking the minister if the hair was ground in a flour grinder, a mill or some other implement. Something to think about before you eat the next cookie!
