Last night Mark and I watched the "sneak preview" of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. They'll run it again this weekend--I heartily encourage you to watch it. Anyway, on this show, Jamie is helping an obese family with their food choices (among other things).
So immediately the wounds I've carried for 20 years are ripped open. All these people eat is nasty, processed junk. I mean, you have to watch the show to believe it. I do not eat that way. We always have (and always have had) lots of fresh food, produce, etc, as a daily part of our diet. If we ate that way (like people--ok, my dad--think), Mark and Anna would be obese as well.
Mark and I got into a talk and he said, in all his years of grocery, obese people always buy that stuff. No veggies. No fruits. Lots and lots of processed junk. Not as the occasional treat, but as daily fare. I asked him if there are any other people like me, who are in that weight class, but who eat and buy healthy. He thought for awhile and said, sadly, no, he's never seen that. Not once in 18 years.
SO. WHY. AM. I. LIKE. THIS?
