I admit I often feel a little snobbish about food too. I don't mean I'm a snob about expensive food, though I sometimes enjoy expensive food. I'm a snob about the value of real food, good food, fresh food not filled with preservatives, that has never seen the inside of a can or long-shelf-life box.

I'm a snob about food pumped up with corn sugar. I'm a snob about McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and all those chains that put out really bad food.

When I lived in Detroit, I had access to dozens of really good Mexican style restaurants that made fresh food from fresh ingredients, including salsa made from tomatoes and onions and cilantro that day right in the restaurant. Dipped into with bakery-fresh tortilla chips. And cheap? I'm talking about a dollar a taco if you buy the right amount.

And people would STILL go to Taco Bell and eat their greasy-gross, heavily processed garbage.

I'm a snob about that.
