Which calls for some Afternoon Delight

I don't want to say that's a real oldie, but when it came out, some peanut farmer named Jimmy Carter was winning all the Democrat Presidential primaries.

I don't think that I have ever knowingly eaten Angel Delight of any hue, HP. But I remember my sister's kids being quite keen on the stuff when they were a bit younger. These days, crème brûlée prepared by a Michelin-starred chef is more their cup of tea.

When we're kids we are so easily satisfied. Remember when we thought a Happy Meal was five-star dining?

Most salads these days aren't healthy, soon as you put these fatty dressings on the game is over.

Recently, salads in a well known Aussie supermarket were tainted with something. was it e-coli or salmonella? Not sure.
Oh and a good wash to get the chemicals off is de rigeur.

The same thing happened with the Chipotle chain (it's a Mexican themed healthy alternative fast-food restaurant) there produce was locally sourced for each restaurant, and cleaning procedures and best practices were not universal through out the chain.

I spent part of my misspent youth working at Domino's and hanging out at Bob Evans or a Shoney's clone. Half my friends worked at those or the local MickeyDees or Taco Bell. We all traded the same type of food prep horror stories and laughed.

The fact I will even chance eating out at all anymore happens solely because I spent eight years at summer camp as a Boy Scout and realize a little ash and/or dirt rarely kills anyone...and sometimes actually adds flavor and nutrition.

Although I've been a big city boy for much of my life, I grew up on a farm. Most of what we ate was pretty fresh. But I'm not sure that too much it would would have conformed to today's food hygiene standards. I'm still here though.

I'd say it's ok to eat foods fresh and unwashed at the farm as long there chemical free etc. Oh and it shouldn't be some Monsanto mutant crop.

Hey, when I was a boy, I'm not sure that there was a Monsanto.

I really only started taking notice of Monsanto when I was studying sociology of agriculture at university.
