Nutrition for All!

I love to eat, but I hate to grocery shop and prepare food. I love restaurants. If I had sufficient funds, I would never buy real groceries. I'd buy all those freezer/microwave deals and lots of cookies, maybe some real fruit, but not meal ingredients. Give me I.H.O.P. for breakfast, Subway for lunch and Chili's for dinner - sometimes Texas Roadhouse. I think I could make those rounds every day and be happy. As it stands, I'm throwing things together out of convenience and based on taste. This afternoon, for example, I arrive home and don't feel like preparing food, so drop a pair of brown sugar Pop-Tarts into the toaster and wash a golden delicious apple, dinner! Yesterday I ate a salad (lettuce, carrots, green peppers, tomato, cucumber, cool ranch Doritos [crushed], cubed ham, shredded cheese and ranch dressing). That was all, unless you count Cadbury Cream Eggs, I had a few of those. Friday I ate one of my specialties, rice with cream of chicken soup, canned chicken, black olives, peas, pineapple and hot sauce. This is my standby. I'll make up a bunch of that and eat it for a week. But that's all I ate that day, along with an apple fritter I picked up on campus on my way to class, but that was all. Somehow, I remain alive and feel pretty good most of the time. It really is amazing what our bodies can survive on...
