Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 My wife, Pam, and I shop each week in the produce section of " Sam's Club. " We do not yet have one of those great, big gorgeous organic produce stores near us, so we make due with what there is. At Sam's Club, there are always little old ladies giving away samples of food---mostly " heat 'n serve " stuff. Since Pam and I don't keep that kind of thing in the house, I often eat a sample or two of what I know would be terrible for me to eat regularly. One sample today was bite-size pieces of " General Tzo's chicken. " I ate a piece or two, and then read the ingredients on the display box. There were, as I expected, about 49 different ones, including chemicals and preservatives. The little old lady who was dishing up the stuff said to me, " Oh, so you're one of those guys who read ingredients, eh? " I replied, " Yep--- I always want to see if I'm being poisoned. " She said, " Oh, I don't bother reading ingredients; I just eat what tastes good! " And of course, that's what's making Frito-Lay and other billion- dollar companies rich and Americans sick...
