It\\\'s difficult to remain rather objective when describing the actual real-life products, huh? Personally, having grown up on almost exclusively processed food (my parents were immigrants and wanted to provide me with an American palate, but they had no clue how to cook American, and my father was particularly disdainful of any American restaurant that isn\\\'t [=McDonald=]\\\'s because everything else was scary and unfamiliar to him), I actually rather enjoy some of the things described on this list and often prefer it over their \\\"real\\\" counterparts, such as a large number of artificial fruit flavors, having grown up on Kool-Aid because real fruit juice was considered too expensive. The reason is because as they grew up eating only the foods of their native country, they literally could not tell the difference between, say, pizza from any producer. It\\\'s all the same to them, just at different price points.

I do understand why some people would loathe these processed foods with a fiery passion though, since I know my upbringing is far from a normal one. I would argue, though, that a lot of these are simply \\\'\\\'argumentum ad naturem\\\'\\\', and that taste is always going to differ between individuals, even if some things are considered of better taste by a large quantity of the population.

I would argue, though, that since such \\\"hambominations\\\" and such continue to be so omnipresent in supermarket shelves, they must be selling, thus the assumption that the hatred is universal is clearly not there. (Well, I see them flying off the shelves in any case, but I live in a low-income district.)

Looking through google search, I was rather amazed that there wasn\\\'t a picture of him somewhere. And I\\\'m not too eager to start up the game again just to find him -- he\\\'s not exactly a common occurrence, so I could be playing for ages until I see him. So, sorry, you\\\'ve only got my word.
