There are times when I allow my imagination to run away with itself. Its chosen destinations seem to be quite predictable.  Even if they’re not conch-ous decisions.

The World Tastes Like Water.

I like water and I drink lots of it. But when I buy food, I expect it to taste like food. Increasingly, the meat, poultry, eggs, fruit and vegetables I buy taste of nothing. Even when I pay the extra for organic produce, things don’t seem much better.

I don’t have sufficient space at home to produce much.  The little I do produce however, tastes a million times better than anything I can get in a supermarket.  Now, I’m a rank amateur: if I can grow and rear food that tastes good, why can’t the professionals?

I brought two conference pears to work today that I got from ASDA (Walmart) yesterday.  They taste of absolutely nothing.  Only the texture and appearance tell me what they’re supposed to be.  I might just as well be eating ping-pong balls!

I wonder at the nutritional value of food like this.  Should my “five a day” be “fifty a day” in order to compensate for water content?

Can we make things better?

Why do we put so much time, effort and money into making life difficult for folk? Isn't it time we challenged some of the "accepted wisdom" that makes this world tick? Is there a raised standard of happiness available to all from more acceptance of diversity and tolerance?
