I recently heard that Superbowl weekend is the second biggest food cunsumption weekend next to Thanksgiving. No surprise there. Pizza is the No. 1 item ordered for delivery. Grocery stores ramp up with elaborate football themed displays made out of 12 pack Pepsi cartons or packages of peanuts.

I also heard how Mickey D’s (read: McDonald’s) touted the lowering of fat content in their french fries awhile back, only to find out that they didn’t deliver. In fact, trans-fats increased. Why? Can you imagine altering a product that has stood the test of time and continues to be the fast food heroine to the masses? What!? Take the ‘fat’ out of the deep fried french fry? It’ll taste different.

The Japanese say that we over-season our food. They’re right. Our tastebuds are spent. Our minds aren’t happy until the ‘taste’ of food slaps us silly and grabs our waning attention span.

That’s about all I have to say about that.
