There's no shortage of it in Canada -- domestic, imported,
exported or otherwise. It's just that the
super-abundance of it in the States is truly staggering and
seemingly unmatched anywhere else in the world. The weekend
provided an opportunity to
visit one of big name monster supermarkets and I was amazed at
the ability to make so many seemingly different products from the
same basic components : plastic, corn syrup and food
colouring. Well, not really surprised, but the shock never seems
to abate. It's like this crap has evolved into a self-preserving
life-form and spawns new progeny -- or atleast new packaging --
right there on the shelf, in front of your eyes. see also : fresh
