Excellent a couple pet peeves a la table by judester Pet Peeves ? 300-words-max writing prompt entry

America's eating habits have changed in the past few decades. Famlies once gathered around the table to enjoy wholesome, home made foods. These days, there are two univited guests that just won't leave. In the pursuit of money, big food producers have modified the foods we eat. The two that make me mad are high fructose corn syrup and modified wheat. They are in almost everything we eat and are very bad for your health. Your body cannot process them like regular sugars and wheat. These two products are causing havoc on the health of Americans, especially the young. People began to complain and companies changed their labels. 'No high fructose corn syrup', but do you think they genuinely were thinking of you and your health? No. They merely went to the labs and tweaked it slightly, so that they could call it something else, like natural or corn sugar. The next bad guest is genetically modified wheat. It brought a little house gift to the family table called wheat belly, enough for everyone. Wheat, in it's natural state, grows high with fewer seeds. Now it grows shorter with more seeds. Higher yields, but a disaster on the health of America. Introducing these two foods and the sudden obesity of America is not a coincidence. Vermont was the only state that demanded all modified foods be labeled as such. Monsanto is taking them to court. Hmmm. The best solution is to research what you are eating. The bio tech giant Monsanto and food companies are very tricky. Even fast foods can be made at home. Cheaper and more wholesome. A genuine happy meal. Secret sauce? Hah, It is just mayo, ketchup and pickles. Writing Prompt Pet Peeves; 300-words-max Write in any prose or poetry form what your pet peeves are.
