Ways in which I'm truly a white trash eater
--fast food breakfast. McAnything prior to 10am, I love it. Deep-fried white potatoes, white flour bread with gobs and gobs of extra fat, lardiest meat, yolks, yolks, and more yolks in the eggs, cheese on everything. All washed down with Coke. I do not have single morning commute without a little, pudgy voice in the back of my head whispering "McGriddle...McGriddle"
I *know* every rotten stat about the stuff, but sooner or later, it gets me. I've managed to keep it down to once every couple of months. It's a battle, though. Which bugs me. I'm not a huge fan of fast food lunch/dinner food. Why breakfast, and why all the time?
--Supermarket sushi. Sushi made 3 hours ago and served with fake wasabi. SIGN ME UP. I even like the cooked chicken stuff. I'd eat the salmon one everyday for lunch if it wasn't 8 bucks.
--Crockpot cookery. A crock pot is not just for meth! Cheap meat, an onion, some spices = slow brewed loved. Soft, velvety, love.
Ways in which I am a food snob
--I don't *get* NOT eating healthy/well nearly all the time. I understand craving and loving less than ideal foods (see above: fast food breakfast). I understand giving into those cravings. But all the time, for every single morsel that goes into your mouth? Is eating 3 or 4 pieces of pizza that much more tasty and satisifying than eating two pieces and salad or steamed veggies?
Eating well isn't about denying yourself "bad" stuff. It's about eating the good stuff: oatmeal, fruits, veggies, whole grains, low-fat proteins, non-meat proteins 90% of the time.
--Water, drinking lots of it. Diets tend to refute each other (Atkins vs Skinny Bitch; South Beach vs. low-fat vs. whatever) but no one ever dogs on water. Doctors, nutrionists beg people to drink more. It's amazing what enough water does for your body.
It boggles me when I see/hear people drinking more than one pop a day. Even one a day seems excessive to me, but who am I to point fingers stained with fake wasabi.
--100 calorie snack packs. I unreasonably dislike them for two reasons.
1. They seem gross. They're rarely just a 100-calorie portion of regular product. They're "crisps" or "fun-shaped" or dust of the originals. If oreo-flavored hexagons kill your craving in a calorically reduced way; more power to you. I'd rather just have a real Oreo and be done with it.
2. Apples, banana, pears, veggies with hummus, toast with apple butter, a glass of milk, 60 mini-pickles, 12 jumbo olives, 3 peaches, those are also 100 calorie snack packs. If you want to go crazy and splurge on 150 calories you could have a slice of bread, 3 oz turkey, mustard and all the lettuce you want-- aka a half a turkey sandwich. I'm a piglet; I like to eat. I'll take all the munching an apple gives me (along with the full tummy) over a teensy packet of Chips-Ahoy dust.
