Too Much Ketchup?

I sit here enjoying a sumptuous hotdog slathered in mustard and of course the omnipresence of ketchup. Please note that it is currently 9:12 am.

I feel almost collegiate again.

Being awake since 5:35 has its advantages. One of those being that you can take lunch early. Then have a second lunch later. Because we all know that life revolves around food and when you are going to get it next.

Since near the beginning of time our lives and focused on the need to consume mass quantities. We are inundated with commercials and advertisements calling are attention to the fact that we haven’t ingested anything opulent in the last three point seven four eight minutes or seconds whatever the case may be. Compounded with the constant and ample supply of foodstuff we not surprisingly find a trend towards obesity.

I have never counted but I wonder what the ratio is between sex themed commercials and food themed commercials. While we are at the level of comparison it is also interesting how they portray sex to be as much of a daily need as they do consumption of necessary carbohydrates (take that Atkins) and proteins.

Our pop culture always feeds us such a load. Pun intended. I think I’ll write a poem about food.
