chemicals in my cream / fatherhood

fresh cream. the idea of it connotes some kind of natural, pure state for me, clean and white, full of nutrition and rich fats to nurture a calf to maturity.

so was my naive state of mind when i reached for my neilson "fresh cream 10%" a minute ago and noticed it supposedly expired on oct 23, but its still good as new. so i looked at the ingredients. in addition to what you'd expect, you know, cream, water, milk, there were also sodium phosphate, sodium citrate, carrageenan, and dextrose. in cream! i hate to think what was in my jr. bacon cheeseburger yesterday. maybe its time to revert to vegetarianism and go organic. i don't want my baby being siphoned this crap!

yes, my baby! autumn is pregnant. due sometime late spring/early summer.
