Wow. We're killing ourselves with worthless, nutritionally empty processed foods. There was an article several years ago re: the popularity of Flamin' Hot Cheetos among teens. There was serious talk of the ingredients containing something addictive.

That would be the MSG...

And if you think that’s something, try the jalapeno cheddar cheetos - you’ll put the empty bag down and order a container full from Amazon.
