I feel like the economy has become one giant scheme to enable chemical companies to peddle their toxic products onto the oblivious public.
They put preservatives in everything... Even some brands of ice cream has preservatives...they taste awful. I don't know how anyone can eat that... Am I the only one who can taste that horrible bitter aftertaste? These products are inedible.
The irony is that they load up processed foods with preservatives and ship them half way across the world... While people in your local community can't find work... They could have been making better food in a food truck and selling it locally, no need for preservatives. Why is this not possible in most places?
I've lived in a country which had a strong foodtruck culture and the food there was both excellent and cheap. The model is proven yet it doesn't work in a lot of places for some reason. Too much regulation? Regulating the wrong things? They should be regulating chemicals!
Sodium nitrate has a bitter aftertaste to me. A bit like baking soda. I can usually taste it then I check the labels and sure enough I see 'preservative (252)'.
Interesting. After this comment I mentioned it to a family member who is in natural medicine and diet (no fan of preservatives themselves) and they were surprised that I could taste it. So Maybe there is a genetic component. I mean it's more like an aftertaste than a taste but it's obvious to me. Like if you eat pancakes with too much baking soda in them, it leaves a kind of numbing effect and slight bitterness on the tongue... Or maybe that's genetic too haha.
