I went through all that but then I started to develop an appreciation for junk food (Coke, etc.) because it tastes like my childhood. I still buy the expensive stuff but I'm not hardcore about avoiding crap the way I used to be, and I find I still enjoy some of it. (I am sipping on a Autumnal 1st flush SFTGFOP Darjeeling from Goomtee Estate right now.)
