EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My head is swimming in useless informational junk from print ads, fliers that come in the mail, television commercials, television talk show guests, books for sale, and magazine articles - just to name a few. Our society is bombarded by health tips, warnings, procedures, pleas, caveats, disclaimers, etc. regarding what we should or should not eat or ingest, chew or digest, inhale or exhale................
I'm exhausted by just thinking about health. Then the insurance industry adds to the melee' by holding the public hostage about our personal health, pre-existing conditions, denial of coverage or claims, and cancellation of existing policies.
I feel like the laboratory rat who is living in the proverbial shoe box, scurrying from corner to corner, waiting for the next morsel to be dropped in or the next experimental drug to be injected.
If I see one more commercial for butter, cream, cheese, bacon or sausage that will make the planets line up again, I'll be throwing bananas at my television screen and jumping up and down. That sounds better than living in a shoe box and waaaay more culinary fun.
Here's to fat and its role in flavor and taste. Bring it on!
Ancora imparo
