When was it decided that the human being needed so many tastes in their mouth all at once? Yes, of course, the Hamburger is amazingly delicious but order one with everything, and some extras. How many flavors are all going on at once?
-Bread
-Beef
-Lettuce
-Tomatoes
-Onions
-Pickles
-Mustard
-Mayonnaise
-Ketchup
-Cheese
-Bacon
-Jalapeños
-Barbecue Sauce
That's 13 flavors all going on at once, and I'm sure there are even some condiments that I am forgetting. What's the reason? Are we as a society so overtly bored that we need to do this sense overload to ourselves? Is it greed or gluttony that makes us want to keep on piling on the extras onto something that is already a finished product? I'm curious what makes us do this to ourselves. Its completely unnecessary, yet its become such a way of life, that a loaded hamburger seems completely natural and normal to us. Take a step back before you order that burger and ask yourself, "Why?"
