What One Can Discover About One's Lunch
A good way to make lunch seem oh so less tantalizing. Today's wake-up call is from Mark Morford, over at SFGate.com
"We gotta give a damn where our food comes from. Far too few in this nation seem to give a damn about what they pump into their mouths. Make the connection that what you put into your body translates directly to how you feel, sleep, breath, function, orgasm, smile, think, move, smell and taste to others who may desire a lick of your divine chemical-free self."

How I killed myself today while reading this article: Turkey, bacon, and cheddar sandwich on a hoagie roll from the deli. No idea where the meat and cheese came from. I put Jones' spicy BBQ sauce on it. The sauce has 21 ingredients, most of which appear to be in that category of "our special selection of herbs and spices." Bag of Tim's Cascade Style Sour Cream & Onion potato chips (15 ingredients and "spice extractives"). Can of Diet Coke.
What the hell is a spice extractive?
