| There are Engineered Foods [you know, stuff designed (marketed) to make you to believe it's serious and good for you] like GU and there’s just plain good ol’Snack Foods. It’s a tradition; the rest stop (for snacks) on the long ride has always been an excuse to eat good tasty shit. When the physiology is falling apart nothing satisfies like a Hostess Ding-Dong, Pop-Tarts, Fig Newtons and Coca Cola to wash it down; fast sugar, tasty fat, easy carbohydrates and lots of caffeine in disguise.
Look at the numbers; when you compare the nutritional values of a Granola-Bar (with dried fruit and nuts) and Ding-Dongs, there’s not too much difference except for the fats; big deal – the fat is what makes them so damn tasty – the human brain craves fat { & alcohol }. Now, if Ding-Dongs were a main component of your regular diet you’d develop some problems. You should eat the serious stuff {Pygmy Scrots [dried figs], granola bar, Cliff and protein bars} all along the ride to sustain energy and then blast some tasty jacked-out Ding-Dongs and a Coke at the rest stop to celebrate; like champagne and caviar baby. You know you want it. It’s a pleasure to fuel the furnace with tasty junk. Did you own tasty analysis: http://www.entryworks.com/mojo_nutrition.cfm Muy Comida Animaux! |
