COMPICATION OF THE SIMPLE, WRESTLING WITH BURGER KING FOR THE SUBLIMINAL CALORIC MOTIVATION

 




300 calorie lunch: tuna strips in dark, toasted sesame oil, laid across some small spinach leaves, drizzled with raspberry dressing and shredded, stinky-ripe, Roquefort Cheese...and a 'side' of honey-roasted pecans, almonds and cashews....   Add another 179 calories.....for some roasted nuts....... bringing the caloric upload up to 1/4th that of a Burger King's "Bacon King", which 'weighs in' at 2100-2500 calories of salty, greasy 'heart attack waiting to happen-ness', even without its obligatory 400-600 calorie side of fries and ketchup/mustard...... or a 'souvenir' 5cal/gm frozen BK fried pie, dug up from the bottom of a 'deep freezer'......revitalized in a pan of molten butter...... it seems peculiar that when mold grows on cheddar cheese, it is...usually....tossed to the trash.....yet.....food connoisseurs will shell out big bucks for 'moldy Roquefort and several other cheeses, riddled with blue veins of fungal secondary metabolites....the microscope-photo, below,  is of the 'good/tasty' mold......It's always handy to have a good binocular microscope on the kitchen counter......

DEVELOPMENT OF "CHILD'S TASTES"
