What are we eating??

If you don't know what it is, you shouldn't eat it, right? If you think about this phrase it makes perfect sense - why would you put something into your body if you have no idea where it came from or what it does? However, I literally do not know a single person who abides by this rule, and in today's world it seems kind of impossible to do so. Everyone buys pre-packaged food at some point, and those are made with preservatives so they can be kept on the shelves for weeks at a time. Have you ever looked at the ingredients of Oreos, frozen pizza, Doritos, or thought about what exactly goes into hot dogs? Fast food is even worse to think about. I love Krystal and Taco Bell like any good American girl should, but I do not want to know where that beef comes from or how long those beans in my bean burrito have been sitting out. It's blissful ignorance, and there's no escaping it. Even if you bought nothing but organic vegetables, there is still no perfect guarantee that they have not been exposed to any pesticides or handled properly in their trip from the farm to the grocery store. It's a scary concept, the fact that we are a generation of chemically-altered fake food. I could go into a tangent and predict the zombie apocalypse due to radioactive hamburgers which will be the downfall of mankind, but I think Katt Williams explains the effects of chemicals in food and medicine better than I could. The whole video is hilarious and should be watched, but the section about food starts at 4:40.
