The Visual Ingredients In Doritos.
As I was contemplating the devilish selections in my local grocery store's bakery section the other day with absolutely no guilt whatsoever, I overheard someone chattering away on their cell phone about the carnal offense they were about to commit by purchasing Little Debbie Nutty Bars. Now, in my opinion, everyone deserves a little treat now and again - truth be told, I almost wanted to give her the thumbs up and a motivational pat on the back just for good measure.
The Visual Ingredients In Flaming Hot Cheetos
The way I see it, if you try to stick with a relatively healthy diet that is heavy on the whole grains, fruits and vegetables, I can't imagine that an occasional nibble (or no-holds-barred gorge session) is really so horrible. Psychologically speaking, I think that it can actually do a world of good and once the fat/salt/sugar cloud dissipates, it's not so tough to get back on track.
The Visual Ingredients In Slim Jim Beef Jerky
Well, I couldn't resist nonchalantly peering into her shopping cart because my curiosity got the best of me. Amid her Greek yogurt, leafy organic greens, high fructose corn syrup-free whole grain bread and sizable amount of fresh fruit, I noticed that she had a solitary package of Totino's Pepperoni Pizza Rolls and a bag of Doritos. Okay, nothing too crazy considering what's generally sticking out of the carts of the average American.
The Visual Ingredients In Lucky Charms
I looked down into my cart, crammed with cans of diced tomatoes, assorted beans, a container of cottage cheese, fresh veggies and two bananas, and felt we were almost running neck in neck, nutritionally speaking. We were the dietary superstars of the store (aside from her eensie weensie peanut butter cookie wafer sin, frozen pizza rolls and chips and my treasured packages of Lucky Charms and Oreos). It felt oddly affirming to be in such good company.
The Visual Ingredients In Twinkies
Isn't it amusing just how successfully we can dupe ourselves when it serves our needs? As it turns out, my need was to feel justified in the modest number of indulgences that I was allowing myself to purchase....and then as luck would have it, during a web search of particularly massive and seemingly endless proportions, I had to go ahead and discover www.visualingredients.com. Oh great. Thanks a lot for the glaring visual.
The Visual Ingredients In Oreos
It's not as if I was ever really on the lookout for a full Technicolor proclamation of precisely what ingredients are used to create my treasured junk food indulgences - I would have actually paid attention to the original packaging if that were the case - but now, I'm addicted as much to the junk as I am to the startling chemical education. I know that I shouldn't...and yet for some inexplicable reason, I continue to perpetuate the cycle of shame for yet another day. With each new Visual Ingredients entry, I experience a renewed commitment to purge my cupboards and body of chemically-laden crap forever more...and then a pang of greenie guilt sets in because there's no sense in wasting perfectly usable food. I hear my Oreos calling me. Somebody help!
