Fast-Food Joints Equals Spludge – The Magic Before Us
What does spludge equal for us; wholesome healthy food, a good return on our investment, or just junk food, made up of mostly waste material? Add in some peppers, add in some spices and attack the human brain’s receptors; what a combination.
Our eyes, our ears, our sense of smell and our taste; fast-food, the magic played upon us. Do people have an appetite for trans-fats, vein-cloggers? Do people enjoy the taste of hydrogenated fats? Is the attraction, is the smell, is the taste, addictive?
How many people are addicted to food?
How many millions of people have to have their fix every day; breakfast out on the road, lunch in the towns? How many people enter fast-food joints to get their fix every day? What makes these foods moreish?
What is contained within them that takes us back, time and time again; one portion, 2 helpings, 3 burgers; not just burgers, not just beef, but chicken. They cater for people’s tastes, they cater for our desires, they give us what we want; and at the same time, they attack our brains.
Taste and smell lead us into temptation; we want more, we borrow to have it, people over consume to feed their habits.
It is not just cocaine, heroin, narcotics, that are addictive; the food that we eat can so easily program our brain to want more.
These food stuffs are not just made for our consumption, they are researched and tested. These businesses employ hundreds of people to test what they produce; they have to get the taste right, they have to get the smell right, they have to get repeat customers to guarantee their survival.
What better way to guarantee survival, than to make your product addictive?
Is it the salts, the spices, the sugars; is it the ‘secret’ ingredient that has been passed on down through the generations, that people have taken to their grave? Who really knows? But when food is addictive and people’s waistlines expand to the point of bursting, should we not look at how they do it, how they make us want more of what they sell?
People have made themselves sick overeating fast-food; could it be likened to alcohol, could it be likened to hard drugs? How easy would it be to put something in our food to addict us to it?
How easy has it been to addict people to free will?
We choose what we buy, we choose what we consume, and they will say they are not responsible for our actions.
How many people die every year from unexplained food related deaths? Do we even notice we are addicted?
Ask yourself that, the next time you buy fast-food; what do you love about it?
