So I was pouring myself some coffee this morning and decided that I wanted to dress my coffee up a touch with a little cream.<\/p>\nSo I was pouring myself some coffee this morning and decided that I wanted to dress my coffee up a touch with a little cream.<\/p>\n
No big deal.<\/p>\n
Except I noticed the 2X More notice on the neck of the bottle. I wondered, “2X more what?”<\/p>\n
Oh, 2X More Creamer\u2026 Then I read the fine print. Look close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThan 32 OZ”<\/p>\n
Then I looked at the bottle total fluid OZ and saw that it was 64OZ.<\/p>\n
So let me get this right…<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a selling point that I get mathematically and logically double the amount of creamer when I purchase the 64OZ size?<\/p>\n
DUH! That\u2019s why I purchased the 64OZ Size!<\/p>\n
Am I the one missing something here?<\/p>\n
I was shopping and wanted a bag of tortilla chips. I\u2019ve been partial to the Santitas brand but if I can\u2019t find those, I\u2019ll go for the Mission brand. I picked up a bag of Mission. As I was putting the bag in the cart it felt light. The bag was the same, the price was the same, and there weren\u2019t any other sizes, so I thought it was just me.<\/p>\n
I get home and while putting groceries away I pulled out the almost empty bag of Mission tortilla chips, to put the brand new bag in the pantry. Then I noticed it. The old bag was 18 OZ, the new bag was 11 OZ. For the same price. Hmmm. So 11 OZ is the break even point between the customer not really noticing and increasing profitability?\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s interesting.<\/p>\n

Then there was this one…<\/p>\n
Every single package had Imitation Krab written on it. Even packages that were just supposed to be Crab were spelled with the \u201cK\u201d instead of the \u201cC\u201d.<\/p>\n
But I thought Krab meant that it was imitation in the first place. So now we\u2019re being sold imitation, imitation Crab?<\/p>\n
Or is this simply another failure of the American education system on display.<\/p>\n
I haven’t up to recently thought about how shitty our food is. I\u2019ve noticed that if I get really good meat that\u2019s protein dense I don\u2019t eat as much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elk, Deer, Buffalo are some examples. But even grass-fed Beef makes a big difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If I get something really protein dense, I\u2019m also not hungry the next day. Usually a bit of fruit, bread, or cereal will hold me comfortably until the following day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What this means is that I can \u201cFast\u201d without thinking about it.<\/p>\n
It makes me wonder if this is our natural state. We eat good meat when the hunt was favorable, and we eat fruits, grains, and vegetables when the hunt wasn\u2019t so good.<\/p>\n
I also wonder how much filler and crap is in our diets and what effect that is having on our overall health.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I know that I feel great the day, and several days, after I\u2019ve had something a bit wilder like Buffalo. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a psychosomatic effect. Sometimes I haven’t known what I ate for days if I was at a friends home. I just know I felt great and sometimes I\u2019d ask what the meat was and been told it was something wild, or grass fed.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve never really thought about it much because being a child of the 60s I believed that the FDA was always there protecting our food supply and that the FDA would never allow something to be given to the American People that wasn\u2019t safe or healthy.<\/p>\n
Now\u2026 Well, I wonder.<\/p>\n
If a single meal of real meat, and garden vegetables can make me feel like a million bucks, it makes me wonder;<\/p>\n
What exactly have I been eating?<\/p>\n
Is it possible that we\u2019re being moved toward eating stuff that could effectively allow us to starve with full bellies?<\/p>\n
One hell of a method to control the population.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
