Three people in the hopeless endeavor to educate the world about your food's ingredients.
I’m back. About 24 hours ago, I was at an open house, casually eating mozzarella sticks, when BOOM. Subliminal flavoring! I forgot.

You probably won’t recognize today’s topic by name. What you will recognize is what it is used in. Layered stacks of sustenance; meat, cheese, peanut butter, jelly, honey, bacon, jam and a million other items. Yes, I am referring to the sandwich. Not the sandwich as a whole, however. The oft-overlooked yet critical component of … Continue reading A hairy subject…

Particularly fast food fries, I’m writing this post based off of McDonald’s in particular, but I have no doubt all fast food fries are all in the same “frier” so to speak. http://www.McDonalds.com So, what’s on that ingredient list found on … Continue reading French…. fries?
We are plagued by a deadly disease. It can be found on every shelf of every supermarket across the US, in every fastfood order throughout the country, in the the majority of meals eaten by ordinary people like you and me.

Okay. So I did some research on this one. I knew I haven’t had a soda in a couple years for a reason. Or at least two. Why? 1. It tastes awful. 2.
