The Joys Of Processed Food

Now that I've gotten that weight off my chest, (and thank you, everyone, for your comments), lets get back to the good ol' Organic Enchilada norm. The heavy, life altering, important stuff.

Like Chef Boyardee.

Because everyone was getting sick of PB&J, I opened a can of Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli the other day for my kids to eat for lunch, and eekgads, the smell! I am pretty sure I opened a can of dog food.

Seriously, I wondered if Pedigree and the Chef share the same manufacturing plant and they just switch the labels every other day.

No one ate the ravioli that day, but several chunks of it were flung against the wall in protest.

It got me to thinking about the food we all feed our kids and how we all take such different approaches to it.

I am not a very green person. I turn the water off while I brush my teeth, but I refuse to leave a toilet full of urine waiting for someone to come along with a deuce to make it worth flushing. We flush after every use, thankyouverymuch.

I don't buy organic things, (ironic blog name, huh?), because frankly, I don't give a damn. It's more expensive and I've had doctors tell me that buying organic will extend your life by about two weeks. I'm sure there are doctors out there who would tell me otherwise, but I choose to believe the one who tells me what I want to hear. Don't we all?

Anyway, I've gotten off track.

But before we get back on track, I would like to take a moment to once again state that hormone ridden beef will save your daughters the expense and pain of breast augmentation in later life, and also that it's possible that all the preservatives in our food are the real reason we're all living so much longer than our ancestors. Think about it.

Back to business - I think that a lot of processed food is disgusting from it's fake cheese to it's questionable meat products. But there are a few which I love with every taste bud I've got. Most especially Totino's Pizza Rolls.

They are some kind of delicious; I can eat about twenty of them without thinking a thing of it. That's why my butt jiggles when I walk. Well, I guess it's that plus copious amounts of Dr. Pepper.

There is a veritable plethora of processed food options out there for all of us to indulge in or adamantly abstain from. Please tell me some that you will love forever and those which you will never partake of for fear of adverse reactions.

Please? (Cause I want to know which ones I'm missing and which ones I am correctly avoiding.)
