Ingredients

I like to read list of ingredients on food packaging. lately, I came across the following:

"natural and articifial blueberry flavour'

I am eating flavour that is natural as well as articial :o
Very deconstructive, I am not eating blueberry, not its flavour, but its natural and articial flavour...

From now on, how should I define my eating experience? Am I really eating food? What is food? And what is not food? Is food contributing to our survival? Or our death? Philosophical indeed....

What happen to our world?
We don't eat chairs. We don't eat tables but we eat chemicals.....
We buy 'bonds', but not the bonds we think, because it is called mini bonds. Although all I know is James bond.

'We are what we eat' = the well know saying. I used to pay little attention to food, and sometimes ridiculed those who paid a lot of attention to their food quality. But my experience over the last 5 years confirms those fears. There should be some consumer bodies that give me lists of safe products to buy
