You’ve got a beef patty, bun, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, maybe some mayo and ketchup, but that’s it. Nothing complicated or mysterious. Just a normal meal made from normal ingredients, right?
Wrong.
How did we take something so simple and delicious and turn it into a convoluted nightmare? How did we get to the point where Burger King’s Whopper has around 85 ingredients, and its Royal Chicken Spicy Sandwich has around 120?
Why are we ingesting chemistry projects with a side of pickles?
But we all know why people keep eating this stuff. It tastes good. Damn good. Some of it’s still cheap, salty, and greasy. It hits every little pleasure button in your brain. And that’s the trap.
We went from being a society that treated fast food like an occasional treat that you grabbed on a road trip, after a game, or when the kids behaved well and needed a treat. Now people eat it like it’s a legit part of the food pyramid.
Be careful, Be ready, Be prepared.
