Fat-Free Whipped Cream
Fat-free this, fat-free that. When did this fat-free epidemic begin? In the 1970s, the government began promoting a low-fat diet to prevent serious cardiac issues, such as heart disease. Because of this federal encouragement, food corporations began producing low-fat products and poured millions into advertising. Whipped cream is only one food that suffered the blow of the fat-free culture. The process of making something fat-free typically requires sucking the life out of the product. Whipped cream, usually a deliciously flavorful dessert topping, turned fat-free, ensure that it’s overly processed, loaded with alternative sugars and chemicals, and a flavorless shell of what it once was.
Plain Toast
There’s something to be said about refusing to add on a bunch of sugary toppings to your food in favor of enjoying the product for what it is. Still, the plain toast shouldn’t be part of that narrative; if you love the taste of plain toast and can reap the benefits of a jamless breakfast, more power to you. But… why? We’re not sure if we can comfortably classify plain toast as a hearty breakfast. Perhaps it’s better than the British trend of pouring beans on toast, but at least there’s something more going on there. If you’re a fan of chomping on a crusty excuse for a heart-healthy breakfast, are you sure you have a soul at all? Cutting out all fun in your life doesn’t typically solve many problems.
