While I certainly enjoy my new-normal diet of fruit, yogurt, and protein powder, I still find it comforting to indulge in all of my old staples. <\/p>\n<p>My culinary know-how is more likely to be put to use in making cakes and pastries than it is in making some kale and quinoa bowl. If you offer me ice cream or birthday cake-flavored anything, there\u2019s no way I\u2019m going to turn you down. And don\u2019t tell my coworkers, but my recycled kombucha bottle is just as likely to be filled with Mountain Dew Code Red as it is actual kombucha. <\/p>\n<p>Seeing new treats in the forbidden inner aisles of the grocery store and trying to nag my poor mother into buying them for me has been something that I\u2019ve always gotten endless joy from. But now that I\u2019m all grown up and have my own set of wheels to get me to the store and my own money to buy snacks with, there\u2019s no longer anyone or anything that can choc-block* me!<\/p>\n<p>So, considering that about 20,000 new food products come out each year (according to the USDA Economic Research Service, at least) I guess it&#8217;s time for me to get munching! Arm yourselves with sporks and grabs some digestive enzymes, guys, because it\u2019s going to be a wild ride! <\/p>\n<p>*Choc-block &#8211; When one individual blocks their friend\/family member\/acquaintance from buying and eating some well-deserved chocolate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hiya to all my fellow junk food foodies out there!
