I recently went grocery shopping (gasp!) and picked up some cans of soup. With the promise of being "loaded with taste" and my appetite actually being present I was looking forward to having some yummy soup. I open the can, pour the soup in the pan, patiently wait for it to warm up and finally am able to put some in a bowl to enjoy. I sit down at the table loaded up with my bowl of soup, napkin, spoon, crackers and glass of ice water. I take a spoonful, greatly anticipating this soup that is "loaded with taste". I take my first bite and it taste like I am eating a spoonful of salt water. I was so upset.
When did being loaded with taste, or tasty or yummy or delicious become the same thing as being chalked full of salt, sugar or a combination of both? When did people start to dislike the taste of real food so much that they thought putting in too much salt to overpower the taste of the food was a good thing? Great, just when I start wanting to eat after years of not having an appetite the food is blah. :(

i hate when that happens! :( i made some homemade chicken noodle soup the yesterday. it was super easy and everyone loved it! carrots, celery, onion, chicken stalk, fresh parsley, and leftover chicken from a rotisserie roaster from walmart. the great thing about homemade is you know what's in it AND it makes so much so you can freeze whatever size portions you need. problem solved for the next time you want real taste. i hope you get your appetite back!
