Hmmmm - seems that there is genuine emu's in emu oil, and emu's come from Australia
- but all the emu farms that I have come across on the web are in the US of A. So far I have come across marketing statements like "9 out of 10 Australians" etc, and "From the dreamtime, Australian aborigines have known ...". The only other mentions I have seem of OZ are in the bottle sizes (ie 2 oz, 4 oz) that you can buy (gosh darn it - I thought we wuz livin in a metric country).
Looking at the addresses of the farms I get Noo Joisey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, Kansas, GA (is that Georgia again - that looks like where your super blue stuff comes from), ...... Heck, there are a million of them And an American Emu Association that is over 1700 strong.
I ain't come across any Aussie producers yet, but I sure hope there are 1 or 2 in the bowels of the Earth (oops - wrong place for septic tank jokes
).
So yes Magik - there is Emu in emu oil - no, we Aussies don't use it, and on the stregnth of what I have seen from about 50 websites, it is an American "thang". They all seem to be using the same advertising approach for the oil of the emu as that taken by the shysters who used to sell the oil of the snake.
Does it work? You will have to tell me - doesn't look like I am going to be able to readily buy any in my local stores [img]smile.gif[/img] . If you find out the answer - please let us know. "Enquiring minds want to know"
