    I have a sick love for some really gross overprocessed food. Specifically Slim Jims (though I haven't eaten one in years) and nacho cheese. Probably because I'm a saltoholic. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

    Ah, Slim Jims. The product that made me suspect that Macho Man Randy Savage may be on cocaine.

    Once, my boy's favorite food was Slim Jims. Then, his aunt bought him a tub of them one holiday. He ate almost all of them in one sitting.

    He cannot stand to look at them now, let alone eat them.

    I on the other hand, like my food to kind of look like what it originated as. Call me idealistic.

    I read this in "Wired" the other day and, I have to admit... although the intent may have been to gross me out - I wanted me some beef jerky.

    This is why the only meat I eat is organic and cooked by myself. Mind you many processed meat foodstuffs are virtually a vegetarian option they have so little genuine meat in them.

    Slim Jims are one of these foods that I was raised to hate by my long-time vegetarian, natural food eating parents; that anyone bought them and ate them was a foreign concept. Needless to say, I tried one my friend was eating and they became my secret addiction for several years. I am off them now, but still keep about 5 different kinds of cured meat in my fridge.

    @IHazKittehz: Yeah, I know, it was sort of a rhetorical question (or a wail of annoyance). I just think it's kind of funny. Trying to observe passover without eating corn in the US is unbelievably difficult!

    As a 6-year vegetarian, I am ashamed to remember my tween days when I used to "snap into a Slim Jim" at the YMCA snack bar…ick.

    I always wondered why they had to list "mechanically separated chicken" on their ingredients. It's been there forever, and never fails to make me laugh.
