I ordered: Scrambled eggs and cheese. Pretty simple. The ingredients say: Scrambled egg, white Cheddar, salt and pepper. Great.

Oh, I wonder what this little "Detailed Ingredients" link will show. After all, they showed me the ingredients. Seemed simple enough.

They are putting seed oils in fucking scrambled eggs now.

Ingredients: Scrambled Egg (Liquid Whole Eggs (Whole Eggs, Citric Acid [To Preserve Color]), Canola Oil)

Bro. What the fuck. It isn't technically a scam since I did get some portion of an egg scrambled, but it feels like a scam nonetheless.

And it gets worse.

The Salt & Pepper also has a buried list of ingredients: Salt and Black Pepper Blend (now it's a blend, okay): (Sea Salt, Black Pepper, Canola Oil)

EXCUSE ME?!

I'm going back to hardly ever eating out. It's better that way anyway. Fuck it.

I'm just in shock. Salt and pepper isn't even safe anymore.

 Not to make things worse, but citric acid is a byproduct of black mold too 😂 

 It's in fruits and vegetables naturally too. I'm not all that worried about citric acid. It's not like you're breathing in the mold. 

 The chemical structure is the same, but the manufacturer version has impurities and fragments from the mold (brave AI answer lol)

So same, but still different. Best to avoid 

 But yeah, I generally prefer no preservatives. Citric acid is one of the least offensive ones in my opinion. 

 i'm @ the point of sourcing everything as close to the ground i can get with food. pharma is a greybox with a convoluted info scheme, ime, & hard for me to use. it takes time to find the right kind but has been worth it for me & mine!  allthebest frens 

 Making my own food using raw ingredients has helped a lot. I can't reasonably attain perfection right now (and probably never will), but I've reduced the impact significantly compared to my past. Maybe that's the best I can hope for in my country right now. 

 good on U Matt Warren 

 learning to process foods while available to store through off season is gr8 for longer term ime 

 what's with the pretty (grocery store) fruits & veggies that taste less than
