I want to say I started this particular blog because I am fascinated with the drama of food. A frequent question on my mind is “why the hell would you eat that?” I like to think that I can develop opinions on junk food, of normal and extraordinary heights, and the people who relish these treats, from snacking to competitive eating.
A blog, in my opinion, is the most appropriate venue for the endeavor of journalizing foods and eating habits because it is where my interest in the hobby originated. The Internet has allowed me to witness a multitude of cultures showcasing their cuisine at a much faster pace than magazines or television could ever allot. Food and the web are a dynamic duo, because you can entertain yourself with watching other people eat things you would never try yourself. Or maybe you do want to try it, and then you can print up a recipe, or more amazingly, order it online. The Internet has brought the global community so close together you can smell what everybody’s cooking.
Junk food is particularly interesting as well because it is a taboo nowadays. Dieting has seen a new rise and now snacking has taken second fiddle to eating conscientiously. I don’t see a problem with that, but I also think that archiving this food phenomenon is important to written history. Don’t you want your kids to see what you were eating back in 2009?
I must do what I can to make sure nobody forgets the euphoria, and other side effects, that they had promoted by consuming this “shit”.
Cheers,
Tony G.
