Entry #5: Health Pt.1

I'm definitely no nutrionist, and my input is hardly worth shit - but most customers are tremendously misinformed as far as health and healthy eating are concerned. There are at least two major stereotypes I associate with the incredibly gullible consumer:

1.) The American who values "fitness" over "wellness." What I mean is when gentrified white suburban, pseudo-Californian honkies count calories and think a specified amount of time on a treadmill will miraculously etch out their sinful indulgences. These are the same people who grab tons of Clif bars and Vitamin Waters, or take supplements they buy from GNC; they'll also talk a lot about whey protein powder, as if it's the superior option. This is precisely the type of shit that gets my dick in a twist. They'll also worry a lot about protein intake, as if it's more important than any other nutrient; in their eyes, the meat and dairy slices on the food pyramid are just as large as the fruit and vegetable slices.
2.) For whatever reason, there are the dickfaces who come in and think salad is the only healthy thing you can eat. Most of these people have never even made a single salad in their lifetime - they just buy the prepackaged Fresh Express bullshit. Mostly when they actually go to the salad bar, they put eggs, cheese, or huge fucking plops of salad dressing (ranch or thousand island) ontop of everything. These are the same assholes who fall for "lesser evil" eating, you know - "100 calorie" this, or "low-fat" that. Chances are they'll leave the store buying 4 boxes of "low-fat" cookies and a few Healthy Choice tv dinners.

There are so many other things about how most people perceive healthy eating that don't even have to do directly with either of those godforsaken stereotypes. I fucking Hate (I cannot italicize "hate" enough - if I could do something with the text that's ten times more dramatic I would) when people say some crock like "I like celery a lot, when it has peanut butter on it" or "carrots are my favorite vegetables when they're dipped in ranch." Guess what, assfuck? You don't "like" carrots or celery - you like peanut butter and ranch! Quit fooling yourself already - you don't like vegetables; go back to eating cheeseburgers and hotdogs you fat, worthless piece of fuck.
I also really want to spit on almost any customer who comes by assuming that transgenic foods are healthier, because as we should all know: scientists engineer everything they do for our collective health. Yeah fucking right, you gullible pricks.
