I used to eat all sorts of junk food, pop and fast food, and ate out
(think mom and pop diner type places) regularly. Since I have been
cooking most of the food i eat, and try to avoid additives and
hydrogenated oils, as well as excess sugar and salt, I have noticed that
all of the previously mentioned stuff (with the possible exception of
coca-cola :>) has developed this inedible quality. I find it amusing
that i never noticed how salty, sweet and hydrogenated they taste...

morning. i had to dunk it in coffee tomake it palatable. It just isn't
fair. Inever got to eat much junk food when I was a kid, and now it
tastes like crap!

Hmm, not four posts ago (your original post to begin this thread) you
wrote the following: "I used to eat all sorts of junk food, pop and
fast food".

You're mentally ill, there is no other explanation.

That's because it IS crap... I hate processed foods and most fast
foods. I'll eat Burger King if forced, but you can forget about the
rest of em. I don't even like soda much... ugh.

What I've noticed lately are teevee ads for places like Pizza Hut and sit -
down chain food joints, the food looks just SO disgusting. Even salads are
pictured topped with something fried and greezy, e.g. onion rings or cheeze
poofs or something...the pizza ads feature a gross take - out "special" that
has as a bonus some sweet bread - like thing or some such. In any case it
all looks *totally* artificial, the food stylists must have had a field day
working on this krap...

Oh, and beware when ordering that "lobster" special at Red Lobster, there's
a pretty good chance that it will not be lobster at all but crayfish meat...

EW! There is NO comparison between the sweet, mild flavor of lobster and
the strong, fishy taste of crawfish meat! :-P

If I want lobster, I'll make it myself.
That way I don't have to use "drawn butter".
I HATE clarified butter! It has no flavor compared to whole melted
butter, but that's another rant..... ;-)

It's also cheaper to cook lobster at home.

And then there is fresh dungeness crab....... ;-d
