Open Letter to the Food Industry
Dear Mainstream Food Industry,
Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to make food entirely with ingredients the layman can pronounce. Instead of filling our food with chemicals like preservatives and other nasty things, which do a wonder to keep food from going bad, but also do a number on the bodies of the people for which this food is intended.
For example, with my lunch today I had some potato chips. Normally I tend to steer clear from these flakes of mostly cholesterol and salt, but these are different. They have no cholesterol, and very little salt. They’re also made of potatoes, canola oil, and salt. Thats it! Now if you look at the mainstream variety of potato chips, you’ve got a whole checklist of things.
What the hell is “desodium phosphate”?
So how about this, instead of poisoning your customers (the phrase “bite the hand that feeds you” comes to mind), why not use all natural ingredients? If you’re feeling extra ambitious, why not go completely organic? Yes, natural foods are more expensive, but that’s because there are only a handful of smaller companies producing this stuff. If you, the mainstream food industry, were to jump on the all-natural bandwagon, healthy food will be affordable for many more people.
While I’m at it, I want to say how much of a blight fast food and chemical sweeteners are on society. Those are the two worst food phenomena I can imagine. So bad, that honestly they should be illegal. Fast food is the main cause of obesity and associated health problems, and chemical sweeteners cause cancer. Sounds wonderful!
So, the point is, stop poisoning America, and the rest of your customers around the world. Make real food. It’s not that hard.
Sincerely,
Concerned World Citizen
