I’ve got news for you. Until last week, I didn’t think reproducing the texture of Velveeta was possible either.

But it is!!!

Look and see if you can find fresh salsa in the refrigerated produce area, at least then you can sort of cross one off the list!

I eat:

greek yogurt in single serve cups,

breakfast cereals (the more chocolate and marshmallows the better),

kashi granola bars (at least they're the healthiest ones I can find),

mayonnaise and ketchup from the jar (I know, blechhh),

hotdogs (I got kids),

and doritos (did you know they have 2gms fiber and 2 gms protein per serving?).

Ha ha, cute post. I can almost understand all of them except Velveeta. I think it’s soylent green in there, that’s why you can’t reproduce it ;)

I recently discovered BAKED salt and vinegar chips at Target. They are not made by Lays – the brand is called Archer. You will DIE when you try them so make sure to write a will beforehand.

wait, a jar of nutella lasts weeks at your house? i'm lucky if i can make it past day 4.

also, i don't think beer should count as a processed food. sure, you could make your own, but it's not like store-bought beer has any weird-ass ingredients or chemicals; it's just grains, hops, yeast and water. maybe some spices of fruit for added flavor. if your beer has more than that in it, then you need to rethink your beer choices. so i think you need a new #10.

me: baked lays, either sour cream and onion or BBQ. and cocoa pebbles (not all at once).

I’m gonna go with the “processed foods I wish I ate less of” route, rather than the “processed foods like we think about it” thing you did: flour, fake eggs, laughing cow, diet soda and velveeta (I eat it like, once a year but OH MY GOD is it amazing).

I like that you pointed out that even produce is processed. If you cut an apple before you eat it? That’s processed too! I’m reading a book about food processing and I gotta say that it’s a lot less scary when you realize what goes into the stuff you eat. A lot of folks are scared of processed food just because they’re not quite sure what exactly that means. I could go on and on but I’m going to mum up now. Great post for getting me thinking!

reese’s peanut butter cups. that’s number one. two, coca-cola, but i like it better with sugar, rather than corn syrup — it tastes better. cadbury’s whole nut bars and crunchie bars. salsa — rosa mexicano chipotle is the best, bar none.

actually, i guess number one should be bourbon. buffalo trace, maker’s or elijah craig. yes, please.
