come an' get your soul fooood

they say that your life flashes before your eyes before you die. i wonder if you revisit what led up to your death. if you're gunned down on the block, do you see all the things that led to your life as a crack dealer? if you die of respiratory problems, do you analyze the fumes in the factory that you worked in for 43 years? if you have a heart attack at the age of 33, and 473 pounds, do you revisit those 3 three gallons of coke, the 10 strips of bacon, and the various pounds of fried potatoes, dough, and red meat that you ate daily? if food is comfort, do you neglect to blame it for your death?

i guess if you're eating a hamburger on krispy kreme buns for breakfast your brain probably isn't working anyway.
