In reply to the discussion: Stupid "food" products? Highly unhealthy ones? Need your help, please. [View all]Many frozen breads are surely dumb, but I've bought them in the past, even TX Toast, for my dad, and he loves frozen biscuits, so I get those too, but just for him. He's in his late 80s and his arteries are 90% blocked with bacon, sausage, gravy, etc., so I figure he can eat whatever he likes, but I cook him lunch and dinner from scratch, never adding salt or too much fat, at least six days a week.
As to the people who routinely buy the TX Toast and other wastes, even if they had an automatic machine that coated thick slices of white bread into a vat of butter, chemical goo, fat, butter and lard, I bet they'd still buy it. YUK.
Another stupid thing I used to buy before I got less dumb was frozen french fries. I mean, damn.

I would not make it about marketers "tricking" consumers; too much victim-mentality for the reader,
