Deceive your taste buds

A new freeze-drying technique is being used to trade flavors and nutrients in fruits. Labs in Japan work hard every day to make our taste buds happy and our bodies healthier. Dorito flavored turnips?!

In the future, no natural food will taste as you remember it now. Because face it: fruits and vegetables are great. But if turnips tasted like Doritos, America wouldn't be so fat that our continent occasionally dips into the ocean, like arm floaties on a grown man. Tokyo company FCOM is learning how change food as we know it. Instead of using genetic modification, they're utilizing techniques from other industrial processes. Through freeze-drying fruit, FCOM is then able to replace with water with flavor (or in the case of strawberries, water with white chocolate) [Gizmodo]

Wait. Dorito's make you fat?!! Who knew?!

Guilty pleasure

I'm not one to go around buying potato chips or junk food to just keep in the house, however, I left work on Monday night and was starving. I arrived at the gas station to refuel and while I stood in line to pay, my eyes caught sight of what seemed to yell delicious at me.

I picked up a bag and opened it in the car and inhaled it's contents. It was a bag of Fiery Habanero Doritos. Glorious. That was, at least, until I finished them, flipped the bag over, and read the contents. Feeling sluggish and slight indigestion shortly followed.

There's just something about MSG-packed food that reminds me of Mexico and makes me feel fuzzy feelings inside.

(In a streak of counterproductiveness, I ate another bag last night after the gym. I must be stopped)
