 Today, we have a pretty important announcement. Don't let the buzzwords bite. Hey there, NJRoot22.com here with another vlog today, and this is about buzzwords. And we did a similar video a while ago about the overuse of the words nature and simple. And there was all these catchy phrases for various organic foods out there, and we found it pretty funny that they use these kind of words, and they almost replicate themselves to the point where you can't even tell the difference anymore between multiple brands. They all have the same word in them. But this vlog is about the buzzwords, and they seem to be making themselves pretty obvious lately. And remember back in the day, there was something, I guess it was a big deal, when products were preservative-free, I guess they used like embalming fluid or something, some really bad preservatives, which is odd because for any shelf-stable product, and I forget what these preservative-free products were, but people, any shelf-stable product typically has some sort of preservative in it, or a very short shelf life. I mean, vacuum sealing helps to some degree, but things spoil, and you need to have some sort of way of extending this shelf life if you want to eat that junk. But there's a whole lot of other buzzwords that everybody, I guess these days people don't think very critically, because I think all you need is to put these buzzwords on a box. I can put something on a box, like sustainable, organic, plant-based, and free of this, and it could just be a box of air, and someone will buy it probably, because I have those magic buzzwords on it. And like I said, sustainable, oh, this box was printed with recycled ink, and plant-based, that's the biggest thing now. It seems like the two-word, the hyphenated word, plant-based, seems to just win a lot of people over. They think that it's harmless when you think about it, but I mean, heck, poison ivy is plant-based, opium is plant-based. There's a lot of things that are plant-based, but anyway, I can go on and on. And another buzz phrase that is printed on a lot of products is, oh, we donate a portion of our proceeds to charity, and that seems to make a lot of people feel good, and they buy into it without thinking, and that's kind of a shame. When you see everybody and their brother donating the charity, doesn't that raise some flags? You're like, why are all these companies donating the charity? Because they feel they have to. Not because they want to, they'll make you believe they want to, but they have to because none of this new group of customers is going to buy from anybody. And there's a million others, like Farm to Table, Grass, Fred, Free Range, Uncured, Nitrate Free, and then there's this other group of companies, and I think they just start these companies just so they can get sales. It could be some sort of blighted social group, and I don't really want to mention any of them, but it could be, I'll make one up, the Mosquito Lovers Anonymous Minority Owned, whatever company that owns this, and that somehow, maybe people feel guilty and buy it because it's some owned, but in the end, there's secret silent investors everywhere, and it doesn't really matter. Somebody's getting paid a lot of times here. I mean, of course, earth-friendly, and whatever, but most of this stuff, with all these happy feel-good buzzwords on them, is and are still packaged food. You don't see much of it going on these days on a pack of meat. I mean, they do on the organic meat, it says Free Range, and this and that, and it's usually two or three or four times more expensive, and I'll be honest, a lot of times it doesn't taste better, and I've talked to some farmer friends of mine, and there is definitely a different taste to local beef, but you're not going to find that in your supermarket. You really have to head down to the farm to get the meat that they butcher for you there, and I've had some, and it definitely tastes different. It's an acquired taste. It probably takes a while to get used to it after eating regular shop-right ground beef for a long time, but it comes at a price, and it's not easy to get, and a lot of times it's frozen and not fresh. I mean, I personally like eating the fresh meat better, even though I don't know what's in it, and that's it. I just think the buzzwords are way too prevalent, and you shouldn't really think about it. Stop reading the box. That's why I wish everything went back to no frills, just meat and juice. I have no way to drink juice. Coffee, instead of all this marketing that goes into it, and I think people put too much emphasis on these words, which ironically, a lot of times people get busted for lying about it, and it happens a little too frequently, and they probably get away with it a lot more often than people find out about, so that's it. Don't let the buzzwords bite, keep it simple, eat your meat, and not worry about all this other crap. Please subscribe, hit the bell, and have a nice day.
