You Are What You Eat

I was going through some old photos and came across this gem. I took this photo because I was fascinated by the mere fact that a whole chicken was packaged in a can. I also wanted to know what "chicken ready" meant. It never ceases to amaze me what Americans will eat. I've eaten my fair share of shady food, but in recent years, I am becoming much more aware of what I'm putting into my body. Sure, it helped to read 'The Omnivore's Dilemma' and 'Fast Food Nation', but I really believe I am what I eat. Everything in moderation certainly applies, but I don't think I miss meat very much. I'm pretty content without eating meat every day. It's surprising how much I don't miss meat considering how much meat I consumed growing up in the Midwest.
