All the more reason to be conscientious about food and my health… I shall enlighten you about what I ate for lunch today:

COOKED ENRICHED MACARONI PRODUCT (WATER, DURUM SEMOLINE [ENRICHED WITH NIACIN, FERROUS SULFATE, THIAMINE MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID]), HALF AND HALF (MILK AND CREAM), WATER, PARMESAN CHEESE (PASTEURIZED PART SKIM MILK, CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), MARGARINE (LIQUID AND PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN OIL, WATER, SALT, WHEY SOLIDS AND/OR SOY LECITHIN, VEGETABLE MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, BHA & BHT ADDED TO PROTECT FLAVOR, VITAMIN A PALAMITATE AND VITAMIN D3 ADDED, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR), LESS THAN 1% OF MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, CHEDDAR CHEESE (PASTEURIZED MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), FLAVORING (PARMESEAN CHEESE [PASTEURIZED MILK, CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES], WATER, NONFAT DRY MILK, SALT DISODIUM PHOSPHATE, ENZYMES), CHEESE FLAVOR (ENZYME MODIFIED CHEESE AND BUTTER [CHEDDAR CHEESE {MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES}, BUTTER, CHEESE CULTURE, ENZYMES], WHEY BUTTERMILK SOLIDS, SALT, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, LACTIC ACID), MALTODEXTRIN, SALT, ROMANO CHEESE (PASTEURIZED PART-SKIM COW’S MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES, CELLULOSE POWDER), SPICE, XANTHAN GUM, DISODIUM PHOSPHATE.

If I were to order that, someone would think I was crazy. That’s a lot of ingredients. I can only imagine what it’s doing to my insides right now.

Seriously though, think about it. Before that meal, I ate a salad and chips. I know what’s in the lettuce, but I don’t know what’s in the dressing, croutons or chips.

Niki and I are really pissed at the mainstream American diet. Organic stuff is more expensive. Soy Milk is more expensive. It’s all backwards! America is trying to pinch pennies by buying cheap food at Wal-Mart when we don’t care about what’s in it. Later on down the road, 80% of the population is diagnosed with diabetes and cancer. This is what happens when we get lazy and want everything RIGHT NOW. Like a little three year old who doesn’t know how to share.

My question is simple: What can we do to turn the tables on the American diet? Oh wait, an epiphany… POPULATION CONTROL, and YOU ARE A VICTIM.
