Reminds me of a recipe I saw once on how to make McDonald's fries (and I'm talking their old-school fries when they were were wayyyyyy better, back when they used to fry them in beef fat in the 90's).
The fucking thing was like a 96 hour long recipe! You had to soak it in a shit-ton of ingredients for practically 2 days beforehand and let it marinade before tossing all the seasonings onto it and frying it.
So much effort for some damn old school McD fries! 
These corporations literally pay scientists to tweak the recipe to bring out maximum flavor, and they also have unlimited resources so they can make the recipe as complicated and lengthy as possible to develop their own signature unique taste.
There's just no way the average layperson can emulate that sort of taste on their own.

Personally I prefer steaming to boiling shellfish, I think it tastes much better steamed.
When I was a kid my friend bought a 2$ bag of hot dogs from a local convenience store for munchies. I can't remember if I was the only one or not but they made me pretty sick... The next day my friend who bought then heated up the leftovers and ate em 
Maybe I just have e a sensitive stomach, I do for sure with some stuff.
But I never plan on eating cheap meat like that again. Got some Chinese the other day, general tsaos from a place that used to make the best stuff. This time it tasted insanely bland and the meat had a unnerving texture. It looked like chicken just super cheap/ ghetto. I threw almost all of it out.
Honestly people should avoid like 95%+ of processed foods IMO.

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Fake syrup is shit. I go for the real stuff made up north. Probably one of the few south Texans that knows real maple syrup fresh from the woods. My father is from the north and taught us wtf real maple syrup is.

I've had some pretty fucking bad beef from shitty, low-quality Chinese restaurants. Stuff that's so bad it makes you wonder if it's imitation beef. Can't put nothing past the Chinese.
Honestly, beef sold at virtually most shitty national supermarkets is going to be shitty and chewy and hard.
Always avoid beef from Shoprite and Food 4 Less. I tried buying beef a couple of times from these stores, and even if you buy a more expensive cut like rib eye or veal, it still tastes hard like shit! I refuse to buy beef unless it's from Whole Foods or a good butcher anymore.

that hasnt been my experience and to be honest, whole foods is just higher priced because they throw the organic branding, the place is a high end retailer of average quality products and many very questionable ones such as their imported organic crap and of course the shit like their infused water, the pre-peeled oranges in plastic tubs that cost $3+ per orange

Yeah the only beef I buy is generally organic and or free range preferably and its always absolutely delicious.
It's like 8$ a pound or something though so I don't get it too often. Honestly I try to eat less meat when I can.
IME the best meat is usually bought locally not from a store but it probably depends where you live.
Wouldn't be surprised if some chinese food meat is imitation or worse

Fuck margarine and other butter replacement products. That are oil thickened, colorized, odorized and preserved with additives.
Use (cow) butter or Ghee. Its much healthier and tastier.
In olden days people used BUTTER and obesity and heart disease were almost nonexistent.
If you dont use too much of it, saturated fat is good.
If you are frying something you can't beat the taste of something fried in butter.

My good friend went to school for ranch management, financial advising, business. He has been in the cattle business his whole life since his family goes back generations in our area..they are in our countys history book for ranching, business, etc. One day he was filling me in on the marketing and business of certified black Angus, grass fed, feed lots, etc, etc. I don't remember all what he was saying but from what I got is beef marketing is not what it appears. I'll ask him next time I talk to him..it should be soon.
I spend for better food that I don't harvest. Wild hogs are a BIG problem down here. It's pretty easy to go out to a buddies ranch and mow em down. They are tougher to clean than a deer, sometimes have an odor, and usually have mud caked to thier hide but the sows and small boars taste fine. We spent a weekend smoking all kinds of jerky, beef, turkey, wild hog, and yellow fin tuna. The tuna jerky I made was honest to God the best jerky I've ever ate. I need to go catch somemore. The wild hog was pretty tasty as well better than any big name store bought scraps.

As somebody who used to work at Whole Foods while in college, I can tell you that a lot of the stuff is indeed overpriced, and some of the stuff they sell is even flat-out garbage.
Here's my list of stuff you should definitely stay away from: Their pre-made foods, especially their disgusting "Asian food" section. They charge $2.99 for a fucking eggroll , and the damn shit isn't even made-from-scratch, they use frozen egg rolls from a pre-made box and deep-fry them! You'd think for $2.99 a fucking egg roll they would have the decency to not be con artists and make your eggroll from scratch.
Their so-called "Asian food" is laughable, it's the same cheap shitty Chinese food like orange chicken that you can get from Panda Express or any other garbage fast food place. Not only that, but they charge $9.99 for noodle soup that has 3 pieces of tiny ass shrimp in it, and their soup isn't even made from scratch either, it's literally just a bouillon chicken package boiled with lemongrass and that's it.
Same with their soups, Whole Foods soups come from a plastic bag from another company. And while their soups DO taste really good, and I'm sure the company they buy them from makes them from scratch, customers don't just picture their soup being microwaved out of a plastic bag when they get soup to go.
Their infused waters, don't even get me started on those. Don't buy those, ever. Just make it yourself.
But, with that said, they have a lot of high-quality stuff too, and their beef is one of them. Their cheese and prosciutto section, is always always top-notch. And they always have a cheese expert on duty.
Their seafood, some products are hit and other products are miss. A lot of their seafood for example isn't even sashimi-grade. BUT, they have some pretty good stuff like whole, live sea urchin which they will also prepare for you in the back.
Their oysters and clams are also the same price as other less expensive competitors ($5.99/lb for New Zealand clams is actually a good deal, you won't find it much cheaper elsewhere in my area). Not only that, they will shuck the oysters and de-shell them for you in the back and give you a side of lemon and horseradish for free if you ask for it. So the seafood stand I strongly recommend from Whole Foods depending on what you get.
For ready-made food their BBQ stand is the best bang for its buck, if you go on a weekday they have a daily special, it's $5.99 for a side and an entree like spareribs or pulled pork sandwich or brisket, and it also comes with a roll.
Taco Tuesday is also a good deal at Whole Foods, you get 3 tacos for $2, and the tacos are pretty decent size too. That's another good deal. But everything else can go fuck itself.
It depends where you live too. Living in California, you can get produce that's just as good as Whole Foods from virtually anywhere else. But after having seen the atrocious withering and rotting produce section in places like Pennsylvania and Michigan, it's no wonder why Whole Foods became so insanely popular.
You have to watch out for monthly deals they have too. Every month they will have one insanely good deal, but you have to watch out for it, because usually only members or regular would be notified about it. Like for the whole month of August they were selling their coffee for 25 cents a cup. That was a good deal, and I'm not even a big coffee drinker, but I became one for that month.

Oops my bad, I am just out of a heavy trip, yes you are right, I mixed them up.
Perfluoro-anything is not something you want to ingest, its impossible to metabolize and thus sticks around, like DDT and Mirex.
