Limited Time Only Food Items

It seems like many successful food items are being discontinued; Case in point, Wendy's hugely popular pretzel bun burger was discontinued; Admittedly, I haven't tried it as I heard it all over the news, but it does sound pretty damn good. Doesn't Wendy's know that they are actually hurting there bottom line buy discontinuing popular items? Many other restaurants similarly discontinue popular items.

The retail sector is guilty of this as well. I'm gonna be a lil' personal, as I like these items, that I don't see anymore. Walmart is pretty much the gauge of other supermarkets, because they have a huge inventory.

"Hint of Pepperjack Tostitos' was like the best freaking Tostitos anywhere! Now I can't find the freaking things to save my life. The "Hint of Lime" Tostitos are good, but the Pepperjack ones took it to another level.

"Tastykake Smores Kandy Bar Kakes" was like the best thing ever, but now they replaced them with some 'blah' Coconut crap, sigh.

Then low and behold, I went to Walmart, and they had no "Cinnamon Bun Toaster Strudels" SMH. I could ramble on with some other items too, but you get the gist.

It seems like every food item now is awful gimmicks straight for a test lab, or the "boring classics" like Hi-C Fruit Punch. All of the very good stuff is being wiped out. Here's to boring foods!!!

Blah blah blah, healthy food snobs... There is something called eating in moderation.

^^^I'll be sure to eat only kale and rice cakes, and drink only the finest spring water from now on...

I know that Monsanto is the doer of all evils, but my food choices are irrelevant; Does anyone have any issues with any 'limited time healthy foods' or are they available all of the time? It seems like everyone is missing the point by going all hippie on me....

I'm always adaptable enough to take people's concerns into consideration, but I'm not gonna go extreme one way or another; I will never totally abandon junk foods, and that doesn't mean that I'm gonna drop of a heart attack in one week either. Many people have different metabolisms too. I have a friend who can eat whatever, and the dude never gains any weight; His grandmother lived to be in her nineties. You also have fit people who lived very healthy, and die relatively young. Losing alot of weight is very inspirational, and I definitely can lose a few pounds. There's nothing wrong with working off calories from eating occasional snacks IMO. I can't see myself being handcuffed exclusively eating bland 'healthy foods' for the rest of my life.

I know what it is, I'm just a regular guy. The majority of America (even people who aren't overweight) most likely relates with me, but I'm on MJ where everything is very quirky, 'gluten-free this, and no additives that'.
