The food of today is no longer the whole American meal cooked on a stove, to be eaten by a family in the dining room, no longer is food prepared by parents for their kids using family recipes passed down, no longer is food guaranteed healthy even when it is alluded to. If a person where to walk into their house right now and go through their cabinets and cupboards, what would they find? They would find food so different from what the brightly colored package advertises it as, so different that the ingredients aren’t even natural. If a person where to look at the wrapper of Chips Ahoy cookies they would find "artificial flavors" not what a person would expect out of cookies. Many items are like this, made up of ingredients that a person would never dream of eating. Most of these ingredients named quite simply artificial or natural ingredients.
