Rant

I haven't posted since April.  That's pretty lame.  I'd like to pretend that I'm too busy, but it doesn't take a long time to post, so I'll just suck it up and admit that I'm lazy.

I would like to take this time though, to rant about seemingly unimportant things...

I’m trying to cut artificial colors out of my diet. And let me tell you, this is a lot harder than you think. I looked at the ingredient list on my cottage cheese container the other day and I found “artificial color” on the list. What?! First of all, what color would cottage cheese be if not for the artificial color? Second, how can it be artificial color if cottage cheese is white? Isn’t white the absence of color? So what color are they putting in there? And if this mystery substance is white, shouldn’t it be “artificial absence of color”?

Okay, so maybe what I said doesn’t make any sense, but neither does putting artificial color in my cottage cheese. If companies didn’t put artificial color in stuff to begin with, we’d all be used to the color things are, and that would be that.

I was camping with friends and we were at a grocery store near the campsite.  He asked if I would drink milk if he bought it.  Sure, I love milk.  He's partial to 2% and I to skim, so we split the difference and got 1%.  Well,  the cap on the milk was yellow and he was freakin' out.  He said he was afraid he'd think it tasted like lemon.  Seriously.  It's pretty clear we taste with our eyes.
