Marketing, Eating and America.

Marketing in america is out of control, it has been since the 60s. If i can open my fridge and find my milk to be 'ultrapasturized' and the guy who sold it to me can't tell me what it means, maybe I can.

It means Fuckall. Its trying to convince you that the food that your taking in is 'generally good for me... right? .. Right?'

The truth is that Eating in america is bad for you. Its generally frowned upon. Gorging yourself is a federally unregulated sin and national passtime which takes more years on your life than smoking and replaced baseball when we realized -- baseball is boring as fuck.

Every morning we're injecting whole grain glucose into our bodies, trying to get enough of that sweet stuff before running of to have more people tell us what we should and shouldn't have. Every evening we gather around the table and eat huge meals from boxes and cans -- feeding our sugar addiction.

Nothing is good for you anymore. The peaches from the tree are genetically altered to make you want to buy more peaches. Everything is a marketing ploy, and when the market is out of control, there is no free market -- there is rioting in the streets. The better product doesn't win out, the better spin does.
