I am so sick and tired of people ruining my snacks by making them whole grain.
If I wanted to eat corrugated cardboard I would chew on the box my cookies came in. I want my Teddy Grahams to taste like little bits of happy honey cookieness!!
And yes there is a distinct taste difference between my happy normal food and the new improved whole grain variety. My honey nut cheerios are the same way now.
Making my food whole grain has the same effect that making a soda diet has.
Sure diet Dr Pepper tastes more like regular Dr Pepper, if you mean it tastes like a flat Dr. Pepper.
The whole grain thing makes my food taste stale. I don't like stale cheerios or cookies.
I understand people want to be healthier, but honestly if I wanted to be healthier I would eat a piece of fruit...ok not a piece of fruit that would kill me, but I would eat something other than a cookie if I wanted to be healthier, like a salad, or a pickle, or you know, something natural. If I am eating a cookie I don't want it to be good for me I want it to taste good.
And until the day they can make them healthy and taste good, I don't want them fucking with my snacks.
Yes I will probably die young due to my poor choice in diet, but you know what I am ok with that.
I have an uncle who ate super healthy. He ate bran and never used salt and he ran every day and everything was organic and natural and good for you, except his guiness, and i know people who will argue that that is good for you.
He dropped dead of a heart attack at 40. Genetic defect in his heart. Most everyone in my family has it apparently. Eating healthy didn't prolong his life or even improve the quality of his life, it just made his culinary life very dissatisfying.
I do not see the point in working so hard to the point of misery to extend your life. Isn't quality more important than quantity. I would prefer a life I enjoyed and was a little shorter than one that stretched on and was dull. I want to enjoy my food, I want my meals to be as rich and satisfying as my friends.
Seriously I would love to have my snack diet revolve around fruit and healthy stuff, but I am allergic to fruit and don't want to spend that much time with my mouth covered in hives. If you have never had hives on your tongue then you are missing a uniquely unpleasant experience. I like eating so I am going to enjoy it. I will continue to eat rare red meat, and fried everything, and lots of salt, and lots of rich deserts, and I am not going to feel guilty about an extra piece of anything.
I hate being made to feel bad about something I enjoy.
I like food.
I like eating.
And I don't give a rats ass what anyone else thinks of it.
Fuck you. If you don't like it don't have a meal with me. I will not subject you to food lovingly and thoughtfully created to make a wonderful experience.
I am going to eat something bad for me now, like a twinki or a hot dog or something.
