WRITING CULTURE 2012: Film, Food & Beyond

Today I had Sun Chips for breakfast. Sun Chips are a few ingredients removed from Doritos, and that is not good. Calling them “Harvest Cheddar” flavor was an insult to cheddar. They tasted nothing like chesse.
The brightly colored bag crunched loudly every time I reached for another chip, much like the crunching sound coming from my mouth. These man-made grainy, salt-chips made my fingers and tongue orange. I immediately wished I bought a bottle of water to rinse the after taste from my lips. I also forgot my water bottle. Fragments of Sun Chips were pasted to my molars to remind me of the poor choice I made.
The small bag contained about 15 chips and a whopping 200 calories, yet I was still hungry. They were 20% sodium and devoid of any nutritional value. I realize it’s not practical to have sliced apples with peanut butter or hot oatmeal in a vending machine, but Sun Chips for breakfast has to be the worst breakfast ever! What was I thinking?
Maybe next week, I will learn from my mistakes and wake up earlier. Then I could make a delicious frozen-fruit smoothie with almond milk and vegetable protein while leisurely scrolling the news. Unfortunately, my class on Thursday is too early for me and I often miss breakfast rushing to class.
