Keep it simple

Today I opened a can of salsa. I read the ingredients to see what I was about to ingest; Tomatoes, onions, serrano peppers, iodized salt, and cilantro. Sounds like homemade salsa right? This can’s recipe is super easy. No more than 3 syllables per word and completely recognizable words. I am suspicious of any food name that I don’t immediately envision what it is in actual real time. Dioxyribogluacid… sure you can figure out how to pronounce it but what is it? Yes, this word is actually jibberish but I liken it to those commercials where the little kid is trying to read the ingredients on the back of the can. Why should we be confused by our food’s name? Keep it simple, fill your diet with whole, minimally processed and fertilized food and remember- fresh is better.
