Morning Repast

[plumtreeblossom]

I am eating a Heart Thrive (TM) Nutritious Meals To Go Vegan Apricot Energy Bar. I might as well be eating the HEPA filter from my vacuum cleaner. The overriding flavors are: dust, laundromat, stale cereal, apricot facial scrub.

Why am I eating it if I don't like it? Well, because that's what I took a chance on for a quick to-go breakfast from Diesel, and lunch is several hours away, and I have to eat something. The bars are heart-shaped biscuit-patties of Wholesome Organic Ingredients, two to a pack. The molded shape puts me in mind of childhood, when I would occasionally nom Milk Bones dog biscuits because I thought it was an edgy thing to do.

I swear, if there was a pet store within walking distance...

You'd probably be better off just buying a package of dried apricots.

Would that I had.

Wahahaha. I can just picture you doing this, too.

I always tried to be conspicuous about it. If nobody remarked on it, I'd throw in an "Mmmmmm!"

I'm a pretty firm believer in Pollan's recommendation to avoid any food product that makes health claims on the package.

The real travesty is that it also makes a "delicious" claim. I wonder in what alternate universe deliciousness is defined as a sawdust cake.

Here, using the power of suggestion and playing on righteous veganism?
