I actually feel like I have a closer more healthful relationship with food now, kind of like I have gone from having cheap one night stands to a long term respectful relationship ... but with food. =P
I eat in a difac, a cafeteria so I see what people ask to be slopped onto their plates and it's not exactly gross but I do stare in fascination; rice AND lasagna AND spaghetti?! A slab of mac & cheese that takes up an entire dinner plate and is 3 inches thick?? ugh.
Yeah, a lot of the kids who have cheeseburgers and fries drenched in gravy and mozzerella sticks are young males, like 19 yrs old, so they burn it off just by shrugging on their body armor, but the majority are not young and high speed.
I just don't have a taste for a lot of the bad stuff anymore, thank goodness. We had the prettiest cake for Christmas dinner and I tasted one bite; chiffon with marzipan and raspberry jam, and that was all I wanted. Fresh artisan crafted baguette however, straight out of the baker's oven, I couldn't have resisted if 100 dollars were waved in front of me, I easily nibbled a couple of inches over the course of the morning.
