The Lack of Spice

Recently, I was looking to indulge in preparing my favorite nachos recipe (see below), and looking for the most important ingredient, I realized that it no longer existed. I visited five different supermarkets and a few gas stations, looking for that very important, very particular ingredient. Sure, I could use other brands and lesser variations, but I had to try for the exact, exquisite taste that I've always enjoyed. That special ingredient is Tostito's 100% natural, Medium Salsa, not the Mild which is ridiculously available and way too soft and thick, nor the Hot which dulls that perfect taste and is also highly unavailable. You might wonder why specifically that ingredient is so important, and I'll say because it has a perfect blend of ingredients, spices and tastes, apart from having that additional health benefit of being all natural and fat free.

Seeing as the Mild was overtly available and the Medium and Hot completely inaccessible, I began to contemplate how that reflects upon us as a society. Their unavailability translates to the fact that no one is purchasing them, supply and demand. No demand for the Hot or Medium means that no supply is necessary. So why isn't anyone purchasing the Hot or Medium? Has society gone completely mild?

We live glued to televisions, sedated by the heavenly glow of their colorful pixels on the screen. People live sedentary lives with their only stimulation coming from living vicariously through the latest reality show. So, was it any surprise that there was bland food for bland lives? Perhaps not, but for those who still seek the spice, that hot, lively experience that only reality can provide in its empirical splendor, there's always been at least something to appease our lifestyle tastes. Yet, now our taste buds are being forced to indulge in mild foods, the sedative that keeps the masses at bay. The spice of life, it seems needs to be blended away into regularly scheduled programming to maintain that ever important control.

But I say NAY! I will not give in to the corporate masters that decided I should submit to their control and renounce the spice of life. I refuse to stop indulging my brain with spicy foods for thought and actions that keep my body competent and athletic. Mildness leads to inaction and disfunction, and if they'll force upon us the mild sauce, I will spike it with tabasco or whatever else I can find. Reality is better when experienced physically, not virtually.

So, fight the lack of spice. Wake up your senses to the Hot and Medium sauce. Activity and free thought is the true spice of life. Wake up, get out there and think, but lets have some nachos first.
