Foodie Ping!
The more you eat fresh fruits and vegetables the less you’re going to eat (or going to want to eat) Big Macs, fries, and pizza. Which I think, in the end, is pretty much the point.
2K2B4G! Nice to read you once again; it’s been awhile.
Man was created a hunter-gatherer. Feed it what it was built for. Veggies are good, so is red meat. Just like in days gone by, which today has now become the way it always was ... LOL.
And you as well - hope your team wins today!
I eat mainly what I grow or butcher myself. It is a nice life. :)
However, Oatmeal was once the ‘wonder food’ and every other year coffee is either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for you.
I’m not convinced that the Food Pyramid is infallible.
*SHRUG*
Sounds pretty good to me.
If coffee is bad for you - I’m a goner. Life is short - might as well go through it awake, with a caffeine buzz!
I like nuts, brown sugar, chopped apples and a pat of butter in mine. A girl has to keep her strength up! :)
What gives? I don’t see chocolate or beer on this list!
I KNOW!
Every Beer Drinker knows, ‘There’s a sandwich in every can!’ :)
I don’t see any source of real protein on this list. You can’t live on kefir. And a lot of the stuff here, like the kefir, peas, carrots, and kiwi, are very sugary.
Also, you don’t have to grind the flax seed to eat it. Your teeth will grind it up nicely. I feed it to my horse, and when I take a taste it -is- nice and nutty. But one’s teeth take the hard seed cover off pretty well.
Nor my favorite “food”—Coca Cola!
Beans and rice. Rice and beans. A perfect protein for we poor (and getting poorer) ‘0bamaconomy Taxpayers.’ ;)
Also, nuts, whole wheat pasta and flax has a TON of calories. If you are watching your weight and counting calories, you have to be very careful of those 3 things and eat in moderation.
I make a lot at a time, but i put several tbls of crunchy peanut butter in mine while it’s cooking, as well as raisins, and apple or pumpkin pie spice. nom nom nom!!!!
Someone once chided Mark Twain about his smoking and he replied "If you can't enjoy the journey through life, why make the trip?"
I recently gave up smoking cigars and drinking coffee - not because it was bad for me but because the cigars no longer tasted right and coffee started giving me heartburn. Wine on the other hand . . .
Sure, some things I eat/drink may be harmful to me, but I refuse to live like a monk and will stick to Twain's dictum..
