Fresh Food Just Tastes Better



Estimated reading time — < 1 minute

The thing about fresh produce/meat/seafood is that you never know who, or what, touched it between the seed to the cooler. Would washing or cooking these items ever be enough if you really KNEW what and how something was contaminated?

After all, the seed sprouts from decay. The fruit and veggies hang at heights that cannot escape excrement and fluids from the large and small things that move. The farmers hands, laced with cuts and dirt, pick and rub in between their own feedings and “breaks.” The wheelbarrows and transport beds have carried things worse than oranges. Minimum wage factory workers have problems paramount to the trivial cleanliness of the food in front of them. The fish and meat was, at one point, fertilized or birthed with the necessary fluids. And let’s not forget the grocery/restaurant manager that has a thing for the new help…and counter-tops.

Is “knowing” better than ignorance? Of course not, or humans would starve. And it’s hard to argue against the notion that fresh food just tastes better. Thankfully it is the ignorant gluttony of humans that will make the implantation of our species so much easier. Like the salmon dusting the eggs, so have we, on all your crops.

  1. Not bad. It does have a creepy sense to it if you pay attention to it. Though it could have used a bit more expansion in my opinion. I’m no pro writer mind you but it seemed as if it was missing just a little something. Still I shall look for more pastas by you. Perhaps this one could serve as prequel to a bigger on I am rather intertested to find out.

  2. As someone that cooks for a living I can say that while the fresh food not being fresh part, definitely has it’s potential, it’s not surprising in the least. I’ve had many a dream that featured mutated foods and now alien seedlings will be prominent as well. I saw that some are calling this pasta a description pasta and while it is wordy, that’s what makes this particular pasta creepy. It’s the nasty, disgusting and depraved things that happen to our food, before, during and sometimes even after preparation that we have come to fear and somewhat expect in a way. It’s a fear the unknown and in this case it’s very subtle but great style. I always love reading your work, keep it up.

  3. While I didn’t love the subject matter as I find anything even remotely foodie related to be a bit face-palmy, I do find the turnaround to be classic enough that it forgives what then becomes prevaricative detail. My only suggestion would be to perhaps highlight the downsides of whatever this species is up to, give the punchline a touch more of a sting. As it stands I can’t imagine what these nefarious chaps are up to could be any worse than what we are doing! Love your work.

  4. This is what i got from it:

    These things.. whatever they are (i think aliens) have fertilized our food so we birth their young. You have to actually read the whole thing before you assume it’s just a story about the handling and cleanliness of your food, just saying.

  5. Not bad at all, kinda interesting talking about the methods of food harvesting, but the last sentence doesn’t even unnerve me a bit. I’ll just digest yo ass.

    Ugh… I was eating when i came across this… Now i’m staring at at my full plate of food and am no longer hungry… As my cultural religion type of thing views food as sacred… to waste it is bad, but I’m seriously no longer hungry… You have made me commit a transgression… I hate you so much now… Keep up the good work.

  7. Oh! I’m NEVER eating food again!!! Wait, yes i will, because food is fucking delicious and you will die. :)

  8. I suppose the story wasn’t all that bad, but it really doesn’t belong here. I was expecting this story to be scary but it was a major let down. The writing was ok though. It just not belong on a website for scary stories. Also I don’t exactly agree with your reasoning. I’d say 2/10 for effort.

  9. I don’t see what everyone’s problem with this pasta is. I mean granted, it’s a bit dry at first, but the twist at the end is awesome. It opens up a world of possibilities as to who or what is taking over. Is it aliens? Is it some ancient, prehistoric species reclaiming the world? What happens as we become infected and assimilated into this new world? Seems to me that some people are a bit closed minded.

    Definitely confused as to how this one avoided Crappypasta, considering it’s got the classic trappings of one. The buildup seemed more focused of grossing the reader out than creeping them out, and the cliche “impending alien invasion” ending just felt like an afterthought thrown in to avoid the whole affair coming off like nothing more than a disjointed rant on what happens during food’s trip to your local grocer’s shelves.

    Nothing remotely interesting about this one at all. I agree that there needs to be a reverse “ADMIN FAIL” for bad stories that slip through the cracks and get published here.

  11. ugh, naturally I read this immediately after eating an apple. Good job getting a nasty point across is a few words…I’m gonna go gargle bleach.

  12. This pasta had an interesting premise and perspective; food contamination generally creeps us because so much is under the radar – and as Sarah remarked, it could’ve been a pointed allegory on slapdash agricultural practices.

    Instead, I thought this pasta was constrained by length, and as a result felt more like a list of nonchalant facts: the slashes didn’t help. I felt that if this pasta took on a more personal, narrative form the morbidity would’ve been better delivered. IMO the twist also could’ve been better primed; as it stands, it’s abrupt and tacked on.

    All in all, interesting premise but flawed execution. 5.0/10

    1. You know, I’d love to hear what you have to say about my story. Authors can actually build upon your feedback. My story is called “The Dark Room” (it’s a few months old, but eh) and it’s under the “Zombies” tag here on the site. I’d appreciate it if you took a look at it and give me some feedback as well. Only if you want to though!

  13. I get that you were probably going for an Upton Sinclair expose’ type of pasta, but I really don’t think it hit the mark.

  14. While this may send shivers up the spines of germaphobes, I wouldn’t qualify this as creepy. Also, I’m curious as to why you emphasize the word “fresh”. The reality of most food people eat is that it is not fresh and comes in contacts with many chemicals, and I think that focusing in that would be more rewarding for a pasta. I think that do make this work, and I’m not sure this could be creepy with additions and modifications to the pasta, you would have had to include much more details and examples such as growth hormones being used on animals, aspartame in soft drinks, preservatives and pesticides, for example. Keep writing, I’d love to read more from you if my crticism is appreciated :)

    This story had a lot of potential initially- the whole idea is creative as all get out.

    But it could definitely stand more detail, more expansion.
    Not to mention the end comes off as a little silly.

    Pardon the immaturity here, but apparently I have alien jizz on my fresh veggies.

  16. Really…. really? Come on, seriously? This is an informative submission that has nothing to do with anything that’s actually “scary”, it’s just a small writing about something everyone should already know of.

    3/10 for the fact that your grammar doesn’t suck dick.

      1. WAIT. I had to scroll back up to reread the last two sentences. Then I realized that aliens are coming and humanity is doomed O___O and we don’t even know it. Very subtle (like the alien’s evil plot). Story redeemed.

    1. Did you not understand what the last few sentences meant?
      It’s not ‘informative.’ He’s saying that our food is dusted with human ashes or whatever naturally. Which means whatever we eat has human on it lol.
