I've been on a forum where the aim was to find and post pictures of all the processed foods in the USA, mostly posted by Americans. Some of the things posted just looked awful. Even our processed food is better than some of the things I saw! I wish we coul
Yeah, it pretty scary. Lots of people just eat whatever tastes good, but, me, I ask more from my food, like, DON'T KILL ME IN TEN YEARS. haha :) Organic food is pretty expensive in the regular stores here, too, which is why the co-op is so awesome. There's no profit motive and it just needs to cover its costs of operation. Most of the people who work there are volunteers. You get an additional 5% off if you volunteer a certain number of hours a week, six I think. I'll probably be doing that next month.

Early Onset of Night: So I went down to the Co-op today to get some peanut butter and what in the fuck?
11.2 million dollars per gram for organic peanut butter. Gal in front of me was buying a jar and she actually had the title to her car and was signing it over.
Shit, man.
The guy behind the counter, you know the young one with the afro, he says there was a tragic peanut crop failure.
"Well, it…
How is this possible? In the UK you cant get Peanut Butter unless it's in a jar. No other way to buy it.
Personally I hate the stuff.
Well, this is a food co-op. We, the people who shop there, own it. You can also shop there if you're not an owner, but it only costs 20 bucks to buy in and you get a 10% discount, so it's worth buying in. The food is all natural, organic, and local whenever possible. Purchased in bulk. There's usually a big tub of peanut butter (ingredients: organic peanuts) and you can scoop out as much as you want and put it into your own container. It's the same with most of the other food there: beans, rices, flours, sugars, salts, olive oil, just about everything. There's also some packaged food as well (as long as it's natural and organic). Today I ate an free-range egg that was laid the day before yesterday just 8 miles from here. It cost about a dime more than a factory egg. It had better flavor and, unlike most American food, wasn't even poisonous. Too bad you guys don't have anything like this over there, but then, your food is probably much better than American food. We're essentially eating genetically modified plastic on this side of the pond and have to take matters into our own hands.
"Good God,
how much reverence can you have for a Supreme Being who finds it necessary to include tooth decay in His divine system of creation? Why in the world did He ever create pain?"
"Pain?" Lieutenant Shiesskopf's wife pounced upon the word victoriously. "Pain is a warning to us of bodily dangers."
"And who created the dangers?" Yossarian demanded. "Why couldn't He have used a doorbell to notify us, or one of His celestial choirs? Or a system of blue-and-red neon tubes right in the middle of each person's forehead?"
"People would certainly look silly walking around with red neon tubes right in the middle of their foreheads."
"They certainly look beautiful now writhing in agony, don't they?"

The Ron Paulians are not amused.
Which is ok. You know that I'm writing HUMOR, right? I am not making arguments or trying to be insightful. I'm just trying to be a smartass and, clearly, I have succeeded swimmingly.
I could just as easily write my political shit from a right-wing standpoint. I'm dead serious. Maybe I will just for laughs.
I don't give a shit about politics. I don't believe in it. I'm a political atheist. When you vote, you waste time, that's what I think. Politics is a show put on to distract us from where the real power is, so it's fake. It's like a pair of those plastic California ball boobs.
I write to make people laugh. I write to make them cry. I write to make them think. I write to scare the fuck out of them. I write to piss them off.
That's all.
