Ok whats with this?
i went into the campus store to buy a pad of paper...first of all they didnt even sell any previously recycled stuff like at all the other campuses i've been on. So i settled on buying one of those yellow pads without the cover so there would be less waste and i dont feels so bad about destroying resourses...next thing i was standing in line surrounded by isles of packaged crap...everything from cheetoes to individually wrapped donuts. I felt sick looking at it all. Do people really eat that stuff? There was so much of it! There was not one healthy peice of fruit or vegi in the whole store. I guess i've just gotten used to buying everything loose and fresh and reuseing or recycling everything...

I guess if you want real food, you need to go to the cafeteria?
Interesting concept, huh?

They do after doing a couple of bowl loads of some killer weed.

Feed the squirrel one of those nuclear orange cheese puffs, it'll probably keel right over! I agree with you, those foods are nasty.. but hey, people must be buying them plenty if the school is parading them up near the registers.

I eat and like lots of "healthy" foods. I cook at home most of the time, etc. However, I love, love, love to eat nasty fast food and yummy processed snacks. They just taste good, that's why there selling. (Don't get me wrong, I realize I will die tomorrow from this stuff. But, oh well, at least I enjoyed all the crap I shuffled into my mouth. LOL!)

It's all the secret ingredients (hydrogenated what-the-hecks, processed cheese-like products, flavor enhancing monosodium glutamate, and my all time fav. emulsified preserv-it-stuff). Yummy!




Yes . . . I am serious. Yummy!

Hey Spirit, have you ever watched Fear Factor. Last night there were 4 people who had to eat one of the following: a deer #&%!$, elk #&%!$, bull #&%!$ and lastly a water buffalo #&%!$. Think how sick those 4 people felt knowing they had to eat one to continue on.

Now had you rather have the crap at the store or a #&%!$ to eat.

Life is to be enjoyed. Living as if you're afraid of everything that you do and eat is irrational. If I could choose between living 100 years of eating granola and 65 years of eating what I think tastes good, I'd choose the latter.

Those of you who'd take that choice away from me "for my own good", go to hell.

For some reason, I am particularly passionate about being able to make my own choices about what I eat. Maybe it's because I never really liked being mothered, lol....

Do you like Fritos Scoops and bean dip?
bitpusher

Pass on the bean dip, but I'll have Frito scoops w/ sour cream. I take alot of pleasure in eating fatty milky products.

Ewker, that is freakin' awful. Who do they find to supply this stuff?

it's sad that we don't have more healthy foods to choose from at bookstores as well as convient stores.however it can be nice sometimes to eat a snickers.

that just goes to show what people will do for money, but I have to admit I wouldn't mind giving it a try just to see if I could do it. The food would be the easiest part. Eat it then after you make it you go to the side and throw up...lol

I don't eat snickers anymore... I know what's in them... elk johnsons are a little more appetizing

Donman, I really love Snickers and I don't want to know why they are less appealing then an elk johnson. Please don't tell us.

How hilarious is it to say "elk johnson"?

You know what gets me mad? When I order the biggest, greasiest slab of meat you could possibly put in between two pieces of bread with a half pound of melted cheese, and they try to slip some lettuce and a slice of tomato in there. Like that's going to save me from the Beef Death.

y'all are missing the point. its a conveninece store, those foods are convenient. nicely packaged, easy to munch on without utensils, no planning required. duh!

newgie, Tostitos and Chili con queso then?

Or the way I make nachos...a bed of Tostitos, over which I pour a mixture of refried beans and spiced hamburger, then cover with cheese and bake in the oven until the cheese melts.

Serve topped with salsa and sour cream, with jalapeno slices on the side.

Leave out the hamburger if you're a vegetarian. Still yummy!

Oh yeah! That sounds good Bit! Leave out the jalapenos though.

Corp. Nasty, the "Beef Death" is the funniest thing I've read all day. Damn!
