When I gave up being a
fat piece of shit, I also gave up a lot in the way of food options. Regular coke is a rare treat, white bread doesn't ever come home with me, and fast food consumption dropped to a bi-annual event (except for fried chicken which I still enjoy monthly like clockwork).
Now giving up fast food wasn't the hardest thing in the world, but it did lead to an unexpected side effect. The last 3 burger king whoppers I've eaten have all been severely lacking. My brain remembers them being really fucking good; charbroiled flavor, onions, tomatoes, mayo, pickles, and ketchup all coming together to form a great fast food burger but since the cut in intake, their charm has been lost on me. An exquisitely made moderne burger on the other hand still blows me away.
Luckily for me though, a can of coke classic still has magical properties but it's amazing how your body reacts to a reduction in crappy food.
