So many times I've expressed the fact that Americans are 'tongue-washed' when it comes to what they prefer to eat. In spite of the fact that folks KNOW that what they eat is not good for them, they eat it anyway because it "looks" good, "tastes" good, and they are too hungry to tkae the time to prepare their own meals or look around for a better alternative.
Here's living proof that this is true, at least here in America. We are a society that has sold it's soul for convenience sake because we've not taught our daughters how to cook or be thrifty homemakers. They buy ground beef "helper" when it takes no longer to make the same meal from scratch - the "helper" wins out ONLY because the cook doesn't have a clue as to what simple spices to use to achieve the desired outcome. They sacrifice true nutritional value for a cardboard box filled with excitotoxins (Aspartame, MSG, monosodium glutamate, NutraSweet, NMDA, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, Equal, AminoSweet, Splenda, glutamate, gelatin, sodium caseinate, hydrolyzed corn gluten, textured protien, etc.) because even if they DID cook from scratch, it wouldn't taste as "excitingly" good as the boxed junk.
Now, I purposely accentuated that word because that's what an excitotoxin does . . . it makes your brain tell your tongue that it's eating something really scrumptious, even though it's only a brain poison! Now isn't THAT exciting????
I invite you to follow the links I've provided you to find out more about excitotoxins in understandable, layman's terms. It should pull you up short next time you want to eat at one of those fast-food joints. Or, you can keep on eating there and FORGET everything else - whether you want to or not!!!
