COLORED FLAVORS

There's something stuck up in your nose - and it's important.  It's a little patch of fibers or cilia that are connected to your brain.  These little fibers sense odors - they give you your sense of smell.  Your sense of taste is a bunch of nodules located on your tongue - they give you your sense of taste.  They work together with your eyes to send messages to your brain as it learns what smells and tastes are associated with what it sees.  Okay, we've gotten the science part of the lesson out of the way.  Now for the problem. 

Here's my beef.  What's the deal with cakes?  A chocolate cake is brown and tastes and smells like chocolate.  Do we call it a chocolate cake because of it's taste or it's color?  I'm not sure. Stay with me.  Now we have white cakes.  White?  What is white?  What is the taste of white?  And we have yellow cakes.  What is the taste of yellow?  Not lemon yellow.  Not banana yellow.   So are cakes not defined by their taste?   You could put whatever flavor you want into a white cake and you wouldn't be wrong - but the eater might be fooled.  It's preposterous. 

Why would we sell a food product and describe it by it's color and not it's taste?  We have to put an end to this outrage.  The next thing you know they'll be selling Oreos that are flavored like bananas or Kit Kats that are flavored like fish.  Rubbish!  Let's march on the FDA and demand that cakes be described by flavor and not color.  You with me?
