burger king [0517.1999]

posted to mindlist

I just swung by Burger King and grabbed some hamburgers and an order of onion rings.

Now that I'm recovering from the havoc this has wrought on my digestive system, it occurs to me that I don't actually like Burger King. In fact, I'm essentially paying money to harm my body by eating food that tastes bad. Yet this isn't the first time I'ved done it.

The only rational explanation I can offer for this is that I've been brainwashed by years of exposure to fast food advertising.

I'm considering creating a little tape for me:

"Now I want you to imagine the most disgusting thing you can imagine.. perhaps it is a pile of rotting corpses (thanks, rod).. or perhaps.." blah blah blah.. "and right in the middle of that picture, I want you to imagine a tiny burger king burger.. and make that burger life size only as quickly as the feelings of disgust build and build..."

Any thoughts?
