Most of the "food" we eat is not really food. Well, I don't eat it, but you know what I mean... Sonagi, couldn’t agree more. Most of the “food” we eat is not really food.

My eight-year-old nephew, who gets semi-annual teeth cleanings, has seven cavities, the same number I have, and I am decades older than he is and saw a dentist for the first time when I was seventeen. Baked Lays are disgusting. They're not even real potato chips but the potato chip equivalent of chicken nuggets - potato flour and other mysterious ingredients mixed together and shaped to look like a chip. Besides, refined carbs baked or fried at high temperatures form cancer-causing acrylamides. I satisfy my occasional craving for salt and vinegar chips by lightly seasoning roasted new potatoes.

Each on their own, I admit, isn't so good tasting. But when you get a little bite of each (a little corn dog, chips, protein bar, and a sip of surfer juice) all in your mouth at once the mixture is really good... AT KILLING YOU!!!! HEHE... Yeah, but…

In a kind of twisted way. I still can't decide if I'm not normal, or if some people should revise their skills at designing packaging, but just looking at the pictures, those foods don't even look yummy to me... 'barfilistic', perhaps? That was hilarious. In a kind of twisted way.
