When you look in your refrigerator, what do you see? Fresh produce or beer/soda? Leftover something that is now green or ingredients for your next meal? [...] Despite all the media attention and information we receive on eating healthy, we’re bombarded daily by convenience, be it from the television commercials with big, fat, juicy burgers that aren’t so big, fat and juicy when you get them, to cooking shows highlighting fine dining that we don’t think we can ever do for ourselves at home. So we get frustrated and think that those things are for other people, not for us; after all, we’re alone, right? We aren’t worth anyone pampering us, so why should we do it for ourselves? Right? [...] It seems more and more there’s a constant attack on our food, from one corner or another. If it’s not genetically-modified foods, it’s Salmonella or some other dangerous bacteria.

And what’s wrong with paper plates? They’re easy to clean up, don’t have to do dishes or worry about rinsing, emptying the dishwasher, etc. After all, it’s just you, by yourself. [...] Went to the farmer’s market this weekend and found some beautiful fresh mushrooms! [...] It’s here – the special announcement I’ve been telling you was coming! We are VERY proud and pleased … [...] What’s the big deal about breakfast? Everyone says that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But breakfast is tough, especially when you’re single. [...] A favorite topping for spaghetti or other pasta! [...] Why aren’t we angry about how restaurants are treating us, as if we’re cattle, eating anything put before us? Why aren’t we boycotting places that offer food no one should eat? Because too many of us don’t really care. [...] |
