Whenever I explain why we are bringing our own cooler of food somewhere I tend to get one of a handful of reactions. One of the most common is the shocked horrified version of “OMG you can’t eat PIZZA?!?!”
Now actually we can eat pizza, I just have to make it myself with Daiya cheese and we need to “save up” to be able to eat the tomato sauce, but actually I am kind of glad that we can’t mindlessly eat pizza, especially after what Food Babe uncovered in her expose of the pizza chains. In addition to GMOs, artificial flavors, and wood pulp, she found a LOT of MSG.
To truly understand the horror of eating that much MSG, you need to understand lab rats. You see lab rats are fed nothing but carefully measured amounts of rat chow. Rat chow tastes boring so, unsurprisingly, even if the rats are allowed unlimited amounts of chow, the rats are almost all the correct weight for a rat. But sometimes scientists need morbidly obese rats for their experiment. Ever wonder where they get them? Are the rats a special breed? Are the rats fed a tastier rat chow. Do they make them nervous?
Nope, they just give ordinary Sprague-Dawley rats some MSG and BOOM, obese rats.
This is especially awesome because they don’t even have to invest in extra rat chow. When you feed the rats MSG they can get incredibly fat without eating more calories.
I don’t need MSG to hang on to every calorie…I have menopause for that!
So yes. We would get violently ill if we ate pizza. I cannot just order a pizza. I have to make my own pizza.
Thank you Jesus!
