Food
The new Organic Raisin Bran from Kellogg's was on sale at the market for just about a dime more than the same quantity of the non-organic version, so I what-the-hecked it into the cart.
The worst raisin and bran cereal I have ever had is the Whole Foods 365 Raisin Bran, which tastes kind of like cardboard and rocks. Or maybe drywall and rocks--it is undeniably crunchy-like for a little while.
The stuff from Kellogg's is not nearly that bad, but it's a lot closer in taste to the Whole Foods cereal than it is to its non-organic older brother. Chalk that up to the Kellogg's people having been in the cereal business for a longer time, I guess.
Anyway, as I was eating the cereal, I mused for a moment on the nature of food. I asked myself the following question: "Which is worse--the way the cereal tastes, or the fact that we've become so used to the artificial colors, flavors and preservatives that something that doesn't have (as much of) those things tastes wrong?"

"the fact that we've become so used to the artificial colors, flavors and preservatives that something that doesn't have (as much of) those things tastes wrong?" --- is definitely worse! As a Chemical Engineer, the preservatives, artificial colors and modified fat is the worst stuff we could put into our mouths! Dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons (margorine) is horrible - it creates sites of biochemical activity that can actually react with various pathways in your body. I say eat real butter, but don't over-do it. Eat real food, not processed food. You get the idea. :-)
