“You are what you think you eat.”
Tom Robbins, Esquire, December 1993

Chris Roper’s post earlier this week got me to pay more attention to what goes into the stuff that goes into my stomach, so as of late I’ve been taking note of food labels.

“If you are what you eat and you don’t know what you’re eating, do you know who you are?”
Claude Fischler, 2004 (Some random French person. They know about eating and stuff.)

Yesterday, while enjoying the culinary enchantment that is maize heated to the point of explosion with the magic heat box, which zaps things with short waves of radiation, I decided it needed some extra flavour.

Enter the popcorn flavouring, with this highly descriptive label:

100% pure popcorn sprinkles

So there you have it. Butter flavoured popcorn sprinkles contains, ‘100% pure popcorn sprinkles

What a relief to know.

As for butter versus margarine, I trust cows more than chemists. Joan Gussow
