"  Apparently, the U.S. is very upset about the edible emoji representations (as a bit of background, an emoji is a small, visually detailed emoticon used when texting on iPhones, iPads, Androids, and more, and even has its own encyclopedia). According to The Atlantic, there&amp;#039;s a Change.org petition to add a hot dog emoji, a Facebook page encouraging the addition of a taco likeness and even a Twitter account for those who are dying to see the humble avocado represented. This is important stuff, folks.  In response, an Atlantic editor by the name of Kelsey Rexroat took a stand for what&amp;#039;s right, and decided to eat only foods that were already included in the emoji database for one week. Her investigative journalism was aimed to decipher if, in fact, a human being could survive on emoji foods alone, given that there isn&amp;#039;t an all-inclusive selection available to the texting masses.  She had strict guidelines to consume only what was truly represented in the emoji-sphere and to try each and every food in the lineup before the week&amp;#039;s end \u2014 and, of course, she photo-documented the adventure. Her endeavors took her from a banana, berry, and milk smoothie all the way to spaghetti and red wine and back again, and she ended the week surprisingly satisfied, if slightly more cash poor, and more loaded up with rice, sugar, and alcohol than initially expected. Who would&amp;#039;ve thought?  For details of her emoji consumption quests and escapades, take a read of Rexroat&amp;#039;s article.
