California: The Land of Kale Smoothies and Guilt-Free Snack Deserts
California. The Golden State. Land of sunshine, celebrities, and apparently, a conspiracy against delicious snacks. It's a place where people eat kale smoothies for breakfast and quinoa salad for dinner. And don't even get me started on the avocado toast! But what truly boggles the mind is the apparent scarcity of good, old-fashioned, indulgent snacks.
Where Did All the Fun Snacks Go?
I mean, seriously, where can a person find a decent bag of chips in this state? It's like they've been replaced by some kind of kale-infused, gluten-free, organic, artisanal, hand-crafted, ethically sourced, blah blah blah alternative. I'm not saying healthy snacks are bad, but variety is the spice of life, people!
And don't even get me started on the cookies. Sure, you can find plenty of "health" cookies made with almond flour and coconut oil, but where are the classic chocolate chip cookies with real butter and sugar? The ones that melt in your mouth and leave you feeling guilty but oh-so-satisfied? Gone. Vanished. Like a unicorn in a desert.
The Great California Snack Conspiracy
I'm starting to suspect there's a secret society of health nuts running this state. They've infiltrated the grocery stores, bribed the snack manufacturers, and hypnotized the population into thinking that eating a carrot is the pinnacle of culinary pleasure. It's a conspiracy, I tell you!
Or maybe it's just that Californians are so obsessed with their bodies and their image that they've driven all the fun snacks out of existence. Either way, it's a sad state of affairs for anyone who appreciates a good snack.
