And, for some reason, people are wildly opposed to real food that you can look at and see what it's made of. The concept of pulling something out of the ground and eating it seems, somehow, unnatural compared to something designed in a lab and made in a factory. Food is meat and eggs and fruit and veggies and nuts.

And yeah, those fat kids are not just more muscular...
