The Philosophy on Eating, Oaf #2

​        The difference between food and sustenance is what goes into it.  Sustenance keeps hearts beating, keeps people alive.  But food nourishes and helps them thrive and grow.  I would never diet, or eat less to get healthier.  In fact, in my opinion it is better to eat MORE.  More leafy green vegetables, blended into smoothies until they disappear, and fruit, sliced up and munched on throughout the day.  My philosophy on eating as that you should eat as much healthy food as possible, which will make for less junk cravings. However, healthy food doesn't just mean just rabbit food.  It is anything that is fresh and delicious and of the highest quality that will satisfy.  Whole grain bread, soft and fresh out of the oven.  Spaghetti with colorful veggies.  Cookies.  I recently went on a cleanse in which I was only allowed to eat vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds for 7 days.  It was supposed to make my skin glow, my eyes brighter, and body strong.  I lasted 11 hours before a piping hot slice of homemade pizza tempted me.  My eyes didn't glow, and I didn't feel strong.  In fact, I spent the next morning sweating on the bathroom floor in a nauseas heap until my dad brought me some toast.  I refuse to eat only rabbit food.  I discovered that limiting yourself to an extreme is not effective. But I also discovered that I like vegetables, and I feel better when I eat many of them.  To feel strong and healthy the only way to eat is to fill your body with healthy things and not deprive yourself.  So if you have eaten your vegetables and you've taken your vitamins, who is to say that you can't eat cookies all night, washed down with two different types of chai tea?  The oafs will eat what we want.  Not wretched diet food.  If we crave something, we will cook it.  Then we will eat it.  But we will eat our disgusting carrots as we mix the batter for cupcakes.
