Ah, so you’ve stumbled upon my vault of vexations. Lucky you! This isn’t your everyday, vanilla-flavored, wishy-washy critique corner. No, sir! This is where I, Charlie, unleash my salt-restricted fury on the laughable “healthy” choices the world tries to spoon-feed us.

If not, well… there’s always the door (or that tiny ‘x’ at the top of your screen). Enjoy!
