Featured Body
on eating plastic.
- this is what gross looks like
In which this week's "Featured Body," msh258, takes a close look at some pretty un-wild food.
A few weeks ago, I was in a supermarket by my job and as I'm wandering the aisles, I come across this madness: fat-free, sugar-free, calorie-free, cholesterol-free, carbohydrate-free, and gluten-free...chocolate dip?! Seriously people, what IS this stuff? Turns out it's something along the lines of plastic...here are the ingredients:
water, defatted cocoa powder, natural flavors, callulose gel, lactic acid, sucralose, xanthan gum, egg whites, potassium sorbate
Seriously?! I simply cannot wrap my brain around this. How is it possible that people have lost touch with what they eat to the point where they'd put this in their body. And, honestly, could this even remotely taste anything like something you'd enjoy eating? The craziest part to me is the fact that a few years ago, I might have actually tried this type of "calorie-free" chocolaty miracle. Thank god I came to my senses!

I think maybe the funniest part is that it's from "Walden Farms," as if anything like that grows on a farm.

You wouldn't find me a mile near this stuff. I don't touch anything without the whole egg in it. Or chocolate "defatted." Gimme my damn fat/cholesterol at least! Sad that people think they're actually doing some "good" with a product like this.

what the hell is a chocolate dip anyway? is that like chocolate syrup???
i'm imagining some kind of gooey monster that apologizes whenever you open the jar.

We totally need to be trained to look at the ingredients, not just calories, fat, etc....

I once ate a frosty from Wendy's and realized that it has wood pulp in it. Dude, drinkable wood pulp. Who knows, with how cheap it is it's probably old chinese newspapers. Gak.
