I grew up with a family garden and a father who bow-hunted, fished, and worked at various levels of "industrialization" in food industry throughout his career.

As a kid, I thought _everyone_ had chest-freezers of trotters, bluegill, crappie, and venison in the basement. ;)

There's simply no other way to get that many calories out to the masses and we've had multiple generations of "masses" raised on artificial consistency and engineered taste.

Ignorance is bliss. Fresh food is also bliss.

"Really good noodles"

"Which is why chicken tastes like everything"

"A single cell protein combined with vitamins and minerals"

For many sound reasons, we're living in a blue-pill world, but try to take the red-pill whenever you get the chance.

It's worth it.
