felis_ultharusHappy Lughnassadh, to everyone who celebrates it :)
This old Celtic (and now neo-Pagan) harvest holiday has me wondering about food. I was looking for sponges, today, walked into a dépanneur and was about to grab what I thought were sponges when I noticed the label and realized it was (officially) a foodstuff -- some cheap knockoff of Twinkies, by the looks of it. It got me wondering what percentage of what North Americans eat is, in fact, food.
It's actually getting harder to find things to eat around her that hasn't been hormoned, MSGed, shaped from "edible oil products," trans-fatted, bleached, or otherwise tortured and tormented in a desperate attempt to cling Western Civilization's belief that it can bend and twist anything into whatever shape the creator desires.
Quite frightening that.
