Surprise! (Meh, Not Really)
Please click this link if you've enjoyed fast food recently.
I'm not going to say that I don't indulge on the run in some grease-bomb drive through activity. It happens. It happens to everyone. But before you take that bite, do you ever stop to acknowledge what you're about to ingest? And that doesn't just go for the worst of the worst comestibles. I know I am guilty of going on eating autopilot. That's the reason that I can only have good foods in my house. See, good food usually isn't as convenient as shit food. There is an argument for raw plain veggies and fruits but it's hard for them to compete with HFCS laden, individually wrapped, chemically preserved, industrially processed shit food. Why? Because we've engineered this shit to be convenient. And taste good? Well, that's debatable. There are people who think that we've fooled ourselves into believing shit food is tasty. Some believe that we've evolved to enjoy the taste of industrially processed chemical. Regardless, most of us do have a dark side of our palette for shit food. And because shit food is easy to prepare, cheap to buy, and highly profitable to the corporations, everyone eats it. The only downside is potentially what it does to our insides and, hell, that's not all that important. Right?

It's so true. You have no idea what you are eating in processed food, but fast food in particular. This is why with the severity of my allergies I no longer eat out at all. I had way too many "accidents" and "I'm sorries" from places that got it wrong and made me very ill. And when they go hiding things in other things, it becomes impossible for even the staff to know what is in the food. So you can be really careful (as an allergic individual) and ask all the right questions - and still get incorrect and dangerous info. Just because so much "food" isn't just food anymore it is instead a compilation of things that resemble food.
