Oh Doritos

I ate Doritos again with the same results. A rash that lasts a week. Somehow Doritos have become representative of something larger.
I did some research into what may be causing the rash and discovered that Yellow no. 5 has been known to cause this condition. In some cases, especially with small children, it even causes anaphylatic shock. Its a derivative of coal tar. How in the hell does this end up in something that is supposed to pass as food? If I had no compassion for animals I would do the survival test on Doritos. Basically feed a dog only Doritos for a week and see how the animal fairs. The fact that they call this stuff food blows my mind.
So, what then do Doritos represent? They represent the materialistic industrial culture in which we find ourselves. A non-food that takes more from you than it gives you, much like the materialistic society that we find ourselves running in circles around.
God help us. Or hopefully enough of us wake up so that we can cut the root of suffering.
Doritos - thank you for reminding me that I am a natural being and not simply a product of our materialistic industrial society.
