why bother with food?

mom always said she hated eating; it would be wonderful if they could package everything you NEED into a pill, and just take a pill everyday. eating is such a bother, it takes up so much time, you have to cook, blah blah blah...

i used to think she was kinda weird on that one - maybe it is weird, but not to me anymore! it's one of the ways i'm becoming more like my mother (gasp! help! *kidding*).... and after yesterdays kafuffle with the stove, it's getting a little more stuck on me everyday (blase pun intended, lol)!

it's morning, my stomach is all oceanic on me, waves of nausea from being empty all night... i s'pose i should 'break this fast', but..... gee. i'm not in the mood for food.

when the waves start reaching up my throat i'll know it's time to eat.

sometimes i get a craving for something - like a double quarter-pounder when i'm lacking protein, or soup when i'm lacking nutrients (or so i suppose) - other than that i don't crave a whole lot, and not a whole lot even APPEALS to my palate.

except maybe warm cheese croissants from tim hortons.

but i can't live on cheese croissants, as much fun as that would be! lol!

.... but gee.... i already almost kind of live off of 'organic wheat squares' from presidents choice (looks like shreddies, but organic, high in fibre, and tastes better!) and whole milk.

whole grains and dairy.

mom used to live off of multigrain bread and cheese - toast and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, you name it. ......she said it was the closest to 'the food pill' - has a bit of everything in one package ... calories, carbs, proteins, fats, and at least some nutrients.

for us, an empty tummy almost feels better than a full tummy... maybe because the digestive system is not bogged down with multiple food bolus's? (bolii? lol).....

well, it's a family trait that kinda comes in handy - saves time, saves money, saves energy.

save the planet, don't eat! who knew, it's the new green thing to do...!?
