Truth about your food

The only part that surprised me was the Subway bread. Still better than fast food though.

No matter how much I read up on this subject, I'll never fail to be amazed at what goes into our food. Peanut butter should not have 15 freakin' ingredients! Hell, I was shopping for applesauce the other day, and the kind I usually buy was sold out. I wanted to make sure that I got the unsweetened kind, so I checked the ingredients, and I couldn't believe all the crap that was put into bloody applesauce! I couldn't pronounce half of them! Fortunately, I found the kind I wanted - three ingredients. Apples, water, and something I can't remember right now.

When people a century ago wanted to make a cake, they got flour, sugar, milk, eggs, and whatnot and mixed them together in their kitchen. They didn't run a bunch of analyses in a lab and mix in forty different chemicals so it would be a certain color and last until the Rapture.

Food shouldn't come from a damn laboratory, and all the government subsidies insure that only the wealthier among us can afford an organic, whole-foods diet. We have so many health problems these days, and I think that the principal cause of them is the "food" that we eat.
