Food Crimes That Deserve Jail Time

Introduction

Everyone has different taste buds and preferences, but some choices are widely considered "food crimes." Here are a few I believe are so bad they deserve jail time.

Milk For Dinner

Yes, I get it, you may have grown up drinking milk a lot, but that’s because kids need the extra nutrients for their bones. Milk is full of protein, calcium, fat, and vitamin D, but it doesn’t need to crash dinner. Instead, it is much better paired with meals at breakfast or even dessert. The sweetness of milk matches much better with cereal or waffles, versus the salty savoriness of hamburgers or spaghetti. Milk with dinner isn’t just strange, it’s a textbook food crime.

Not Breaking the KitKat

This one is not just a crime, this gives me a cringe. KitKats are literally designed with perfect snap points for a reason: a satisfying break and a neat bite. Ignoring that and just chomping straight across multiple rows is just crazy. The snap is part of the ritual, part of what makes eating a KitKat so fun. Please, let yourself have some fun and break that KitKat!

Ketchup Replacing Spaghetti Sauce

Using ketchup instead of spaghetti sauce on pasta is just something I will never understand. Ketchup is a wonderful condiment, paired with other foods that already have a flavor with spices, like hamburgers or fries. The problem is that pasta doesn't have this flavor already so, it needs to be paired with a sauce that has spices, herbs, and texture to balance the flavors out. Using Ketchup is like giving pasta the wrong outfit, it just doesn't match. The sweetness and weaker flavor will never one up a flavorful spaghetti sauce.

Childhood Snack Glow-Ups

Introduction Everyone has their classic childhood snacks that they still think about or even still eat.  Classic childhood snacks never go out of style, but our taste buds grow up. Here’s how to keep the foods you love and give them a grown up, glow up. 1. Dunkaroos  For some, the sweet-and-crunchy duo of Dunkaroos is just too good to leave in childhood. Luckily there's a healthier, more grown option with some graham crackers, greek yogurt, and honey. This trio will perfectly match the snack ability and keep the sweetness alive through the graham cracker and honey. -Break apart a couple graham crackers into the 4 different thin pieces -Scoop a couple spoonfuls of greek yogurt into a separate bowl -Drizzle some honey on top of the yogurt  -Dip in and enjoy! 2. Fruit Roll-Ups Fruit Roll-ups remain a classic throughout my life, but whenever my mom decide we needed to be healthier she would make dehydrated fruit leathers. Don’t worry, the sweetness is stil...

Flavor Hills I’ll Die On

 Introduction Everyone has good opinions, some spicy enough to start arguments with others. In this blog post I will introduce my flavor hills that I'll happily take to my grave. These takes aren’t out there, but they get way more hate than they deserve. Breakfast For dinner Breakfast for dinner is a tradition in my family. Once a week, we will make biscuits or cinnamon rolls with bacon, eggs, and fruit. As someone whose favorite meal is breakfast this is my favorite day of the week, with unmatched sweet flavors while still getting all of the needed nutrients that you would get from a "classic" dinner. Double downing on breakfast will never be a guilty pleasure, forever just a pleasure. Ketchup on Eggs People love to hate on this one, but I'll forever defend it: ketchup belongs on eggs. Since the first time I tried eggs, my parents put ketchup on it, now I won't eat it any other way. The sweetness of ketchup covers up the off-putting taste in eggs that makes some ...
