Adam v. chem­i­cal­ly enhanced and refrig­er­at­ed con­ve­nience food.

I’ve been defeat­ed by a mere cucum­ber! Well, not per­haps mere. The Kaiser Famous Dill Pick­le, made by Kaiser Foods in Cincin­nati, OH [no web­site] is a dan­ger­ous adver­sary. The pick­le, which I’m assum­ing weighed in at just less than one pound, came in a plas­tic bag and was sit­ting in its own brine. It cost one dol­lar and had a total of 5 calo­ries. It also had 1050mg of sodi­um, or 44% of the RDA. The bag explic­it­ly states that it con­tains one pick­le. By gum, its a mankiller. I did­n’t fin­ish it. It was like lick­ing the ground of the Great Salt Lake and wash­ing it down with some Dead Sea water. Bleargh. Every­thing tastes like salt now and my chest is burn­ing.
