Home to our industrial processed nutrition-free long life poison diets. And now guilt too? What's wrong with shrugging your shoulders, burying your head, and supersizing your indifference? Most human behavior is determinedly second rate. I suggest blaming the food companies who told us for years that their junk was good for our kids. Blame the for-hire politicains who fail to protect society when what's good for business is bad for people. Blame the food educators for not frightening you enough. Blame your mom. Blame the fat girl next door who still seems happy. Blame amnesia. Blame buddha for setting a bad example. Blame God. Don't blame Mohammed - praise be and all that. Blame penguins. Blame Martians. But never, under no circumstances what-so-ever blame yourself for a moment of human weakness. Some nutters say guilt is good - it lets yur know when yur messed yur pants. I say guilt is bad, unless you can heap it on someone else. It’ a dangerous place, the fridge. Home to our industrial processed nutrition-free long life poison diets. And now guilt too?

I myself did tons of research on trans fats, and no matter what you try its hard to avoid them, I haven't been to a fast food restaurant in 3 years because I would feel so much shame. checking every label on foods that could have trans fat. I watch while my younger half- brother and sister are feed trans fat by my mother and she says its ok because they are young. society is ignorant and mislead a lot. Frankly its hard to afford organic or soy products. So what I do is stick to the produce section. Pesticides or not, they are nutritious foods. It comes from the media, new information on the web.

And I find myself looking in other people's grocery carts and making judgments about them. I remember watching this one woman pull carton after carton of sugar cereal, Little Debbie's, Kool-Aid, soda, ice cream, donuts, etc from her cart. Not one vegetable. Not one actual dinner item. And then I watched her pay with food stamps and I was so angry at her because she had these little kids with her and I knew that's what they were going to to home and eat. And I jsut wanted to shake her. But how do I know what else she already has at home? How do I know they don't eat well balanced meals every single day, which is more than I can say for my own kids. And moreover, who the hell do I think I am to sit in judgment of the food other people do--or don't--eat? Why all this moral indignation about food? I do that, too!

Why all this moral indignation about food?

I get like that in the grocery store. I want everything in my cart to be healthy and wholesome. When I do need to buy junk foods for any reason I feel like I should stand up and make an announcement to everyone in the store that I don't normal eat like this but I have to make a certain dish for a special occasion or else I'd be buying only "good" food.
