The Naturally Wholesome Guarantee

Fooooooooooooooooooooooood. We all need it.  Some of us don’t want it, but there’s a reason society has deemed those unfortunate circumstances “psychological disorders”. Food is wonderful and it’s full of wonder in so many flavors……. thousands in fact. Your taste buds react positively or negatively, depending on whether you ate well or chose poorly.  Say, bacon vs. Possum loin. Both are anatomically choice cuts of meat…however, there is a reason people are not eating possum loin and eggs every morning for breakfast. Bacon is way better…. Check Mate!  Anyways, we need food, but what do we REALLY know about the shit we shovel into our face holes? We are told by a label it is “Natural” and we have been informed it’s been inspected for “wholesomeness”.  Sounds like some quality stuff, but upon further review, ambiguity and corporately defined, “gray areas” keep the good stuff off our plates and out of our hearts…

We all know about GMOs or at least that they are bad and the “bad guys” think there good, however what do we really “know” about the food we eat.   On a daily basis, in the news, there are always topics on GMOs, food labeling, food inspection process, and now false claims on products. I grabbed a can of soup out of my pantry today and noticed a very small circle shaped stamp of inspection that I could barely even read with my coke-bottle lenses. After reading the label I realized that it was a good thing and that my food in fact has been inspected for wholesomeness.  It made me feel much better about the soup knowing it has passed the “wholesomeness” test.  Ummmmm wholsomness????  I understand that the USDA inspects the meat and this tells us that the meat has been inspected, however this label leads me and I’m sure others also to believe that the whole can of soup was inspected for “wholesomeness”. 

There have been several law suits popping up lately about products falsely being labeled as natural due to companies slapping the letters on their food or drinks.  These labels do not mean anything to me anymore and make me think of the guarantee on a box scene from Tommy Boy.  It is just a guarantee and it doesn’t mean a thing.  Unless you live on a farm and cook your own food and raise your own livestock, get used to lots of false labeling and scary ingredients.  In conclusion, it’s time we as a culture demand definitions for terms defining quality.

Except Taco Bell, they can keep on doing whatever they want, because I like it and I call this Blog Dan Good Food for a reason…not the Dan good modified food.

....POOP IS NATRUAL......
