I Ain't Eating THAT

Veggie Booty has been recalled because of possible salmonella contamination. This stuff has, like, spinach and other vegetables in it, which would battle for supremacy with the liters of Mountain Dew and tons of nicotine running rampant in my system. If I did happen to eat it, I would probably end up with the symptoms of salmonella even if it were not contaminated. No, sir, I ain't eating that.

Now, I really do like veggies and fruits and they generally like me (with the exception of Roma tomatoes, which give me hives from head to toe), I just like them FRESH and not powdered onto whatever it is these things are made of. Give me a nice bowl of steamed veggies any day. If I am going to eat something that RESEMBLES a chip or something of that nature, I am just going to go all out and eat the chip. At least I know up front it is not the best thing for me to eat.
