you are what you eat

Last night, I watched Jamie Oliver's new series of his "Food Revolution".
Last season, he tackled the deep south in hopes of changing people's diet from the fat, sugar and processed crap they were used to eating into healthy "real" food.
His show last year was a catalyst for me to go back to weight watchers.
I like to think, at least, I eat healthier.
This year, Jamie Oliver is in LA trying to make a change in the public school's lunch program.
Of course, he was faced with some serious opposition from the food service authorities. They won't even allow him to view what the kids are being served in the lunch room.
He ended up appealing to the parents.
What the kids presented to him as "lunch" was appalling. It was worst than the shit you get in a vending machines at a scrotty bus depot.
It is no wonder there is so many kids that are diagnosed with ADD. They are consuming sugar, fat, processed chemicals, and just plain shit. They crave it and become addicted to it.
As I watch this I wonder where the hell is Michelle Obama? Isn't this her "cause" to promote exercise and healthy eating for kids? Why isn't she on this band wagon? Or is it she is afraid of the back-lash she get because these schools and their dietary advisors are under her husband's administration? Or is she just "full of shit and show"?
As I watched the show I started giving my own eating habits another viewing. I like to think that I eat pretty pure and healthy.
However.
I was kind of grossed out after reading some of the labels of items I suspected to have additives somewhat and some that I was totally shocked to see some of the additives.
For example:

1)Fat free half & half cream

I use this in my morning coffee.
Here is what is listed: fat free milk, corn syrup, cream, artifical color, disodium phosphate, carrageenan...

2)Cool whip.

Yes, I use this with fruit.
Here is what is listed, and it isn't pretty: water, corn syrup, dextrose, skim milk, high frutose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated palm kernal oil, maltodextrose, sugar, potatoe starch, artificial flavor, sodium caseinate, cellulose gum, cellulose gel, xantham gum... (and more chemicals)

3) Fat free cheeze.

I rarely eat cheeze but I will add it with a veggie sandwich sometimes.
Here is what is listed:
skim milk cheeze, corn syrup (AGAIN!), corn syrup solids, modified cornstarch, sodium citrate, salt, cheddar cheeze flavoring (?), carrageenan, sorbic acid (and other chemicals)

4) Smart balance fat free milk with Omega-3s.

I use milk for tea.
This is the grossest and most shocking of all. This is suppose to be healthy but I am grossed out.
Here is what is listed:
milk, sunflower oil AND FISH OIL! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NASTY!

So in conclusion, don't eat shit.
Because
You are what you eat.
