Tomato on toast beats every processed snack by a mile.

The Take

Bruschetta earns a Slop Score of 9. It is tomato on toast made with olive oil, garlic, basil and real produce, exactly as ancestors prepared it before HFCS and seed oil dominance.

The only weak link is the bread, which sometimes hides dough conditioners.

The Verdict

Order the classic version and pair it with raw milk for maximum single-ingredient civilization points. Garlic breath for days is the only side effect, and great-grandma high-fives you from beyond.

Buy it. Slop Score: 9.
