Recently a friend thought I might have a comment on his choice of food.

I’m guessing it was probably because most cardiologists and dieticians would chastise him, saying that particular food is not heart-healthy.

In the past, I might have volunteered a comment … made a suggestion for a more nutritious choice …  or at least one the medical establishment would think is a better choice.  Today?

Nope.

No way.

Why?

Because lately I’ve been averaging making 10 meals a day.  And I find myself challenged to keep them healthy and varied. Especially since I’m dealing with a range of appetites and digestive challenges.

As a disclaimer, I admit some are reheated leftovers.  So each meal is not always from scratch.

Interestingly, I get a variety of reactions:

  • Some of the meals I fix are eaten as if there hasn’t been any food seen for a week.  After eating just a few hours ago.  Yes, now I know firsthand what “wolfing your food” and “inhaling your food” really mean.
    :D
  • While other meals are carefully sniffed as if there’s something with a bad taste or indigestion hidden under the rice. (There isn’t.)
    :?
  • Others are eaten with a seemingly nonstop commentary bordering on, well, complaints.
    :roll:

So, if I fix about 300 meals a month, or 3650 meals a year, I’m sure not about to pick a fight about what someone outside my house eats. Inside my house, I admit that could be a different story …

So what’s my philosophy about what others eat?

In a nutshell:

Eat what you want.  If you’re an adult, eat healthy or not.  Maybe eating one unhealthy food a day will keep you from binging on others.

Whatever works for you is okay with me.  I’m not here to judge or criticize.

Just don’t expect me to cook it.

Please.
