Are you as confused as I am? I must confess I am confused about a million
things including what to eat, what not to eat, what to drink and what not to
drink. For years there have been alien like forces laying out a proper diet
for us, spelling out it's ever changing mantra through commercials, branding
and dire warnings in the news, not to mention the occasional UFO spotting.
You've got to hand it to the powers that be, they know how to get
information out there, for years any self respecting person who dared to eat
something with fat in it for breakfast instead of eating three "Low Fat"
bagels did so in seclusion for fear of being considered an outcast who was
reckless with their health. People invented little sprayer machines to limit
the amount of oil in a pan, so much so that the pounds of pasta would stick
to it within seconds, let alone butter which was vilified and replaced by
its surgically enhanced stepsister margarine. Little did we know that in
fact margarine would end up being the worst thing in the world for us ,
killing us slowly with each spread of the knife. Not to mention the process
of getting off sweetener is as painstaking as getting off crack (as the new
show " Intervention- a Sweet and Bitter Story" can attest to). Then
overnight the information changed, apparently it was the very thing we were
gorging ourselves on that was making us fat and slamming our arteries. We
thought we were living in a dream when we were told that we should be eating
fat and tonnes of it, so like the sheep we are we ran out and bought every
steak we could find grilled it for two minutes and slathered it with deep
fried onions. We had bacon and eggs for breakfast and as long as we didn't
have toast with our butter we were laughing. The weight fell off and people
were walking around with an air of superiority that masked the green pallor
that started to creep up as the meat settled into the lining of our
intestines. I am not a scientist but when someone recommends an animal based
diet, and gives you the stink eye for eating an orange because of its high
sugar content, you know they bought their diploma on eBay. So now I don't
listen at all. I just follow one simple rule, if it's from the earth and I
can identify it, I'm good to go with a cherry on top!
