Is There a Hidden Danger in Fracked Food Grade Petroleum?

The recent revelation of a fracking industry insider that M&M's and Advil are coated in fracked food grade paraffin left me wondering exactly what food grade paraffin or food grade petroleum is and how it could possibly be safe if it's fracked.

Then, I noticed this sign hanging over the bell peppers at the grocery store, wondered if it meant fracked food grade petroleum like the M&M's, and knew it was time to get busy digging.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a federal law requires United States produce shippers and supermarkets to label waxed fruits and vegetables.

While I have not yet found anything specific that says "yes" or "no" to the question, Are they putting fracked petroleum wax on fruit and vegetables?" It does seem likely that, since the majority of all wells are fracked today, that it probably is the case.

So, the FDA allows the use of fracked food grade paraffin (directly from a gas & oil insider's mouth) and the use of most likely fracked petroleum wax, so the question you are left with is, do you trust the government agencies handling this to tell you the truth about the safety of the petroleum's chemicals you are exposing your family to, and do you trust them to keep you safe and act in your best interest?

If you opt to buy only unwaxed fruits and vegetables, you reduce your risk of exposure slightly, but remember these ingredients are commonly used many places you would probably not suspect: chewing gum, cheese, fruits, vegetables, spice flavoring substances (?), and as a defoamer (again ?) in foods. (Wow, that's pretty unspecific, isn't it? Got to beware those foamy foods. What foods even foam to begin with?)
