Nu-Beta Blues Part 4: Chymical Empire











Blue meth is literally IN the fast food.  Ricin is literally IN the cigarette.  The gun is literally IN the Coca-Cola.  What is this saying?

If I abused Heisenberg's* blue meth, smoking, snorting, or shooting it several times a day, it is pretty much guaranteed that my physical and mental health would go to shit.

If I abuse fast food, cigarettes, and Coca-Cola, eating, smoking, and drinking them several times a day, it is pretty much guaranteed that my physical and mental health would go to shit too.   But there's a huge difference between smoking blue meth and eating fast food, right?

Heisenberg's product is addictive, meaning users of his product are technically victims.  They are helpless to stop using once the drug enters their body, once it affects their brain.  Once it takes over their mind.  This is why meth, which used to be LEGAL, is now ILLEGAL.

Fast food, cigarettes, and Coca-Cola are LEGAL because they are not addictive (well, cigarettes are addictive).  But processed junk foods high in salt and fat and beverages loaded with high fructose corn syrup aren't, right?  Because if they were, they wouldn't be LEGAL, would they?  

What if we found out that consuming fast food, cigarettes, and Coca-Cola had a synergistic affect?  What if when all three were consumed, they became as addictive and damaging to your mental and physical health as blue meth?  If this was true, would we make sure they become ILLEGAL too?  


The empire business sure has a lot of competition.  And really, who wants to live in a world without Coca-Cola?  Or diabetes, heart disease, obesity.  And cancer.

*Another Heisenberg, Werner Heisenberg is famous for his work on a different kind of bomb.  But that's a whole nother story.
