I am what I eat-literally
OOohing and AAahing over the food pictures featured at others' food blog put mine instantly to shame,haha...Oh well,better to be true to myself,for while such desserts are to-die-for,it should be an occasional treat...hehe....With the flu virus at its peak,we are more vulnerable than ever to fall ill under such harsh weather...I always make it a point to include more fruits and vegetables in my daily meal..True,nothing is foolproof,but at least I try and have on numerous occasions managed to keep flu and cold at bay....Once I remembered getting into a verbal arguement over this with one of my ex-colleague,he believe that kids should not be restrain over their food choices,as it will backfire with most of them flockering over to the fast-food outlets, being deprived and eat even more of the unhealthy food,me on the other hand feel that kids ought to be taught at young,with parents leading a good example on eating healthily,drilled on healthy food choices,with fast-food being a eating out once in a blue moon...Eventually nobody win,we stubbornly stick to our guns...haha
The first time I visted a local organic farm,the farmer while explaining on the benefits of organic produce,plucked a ladyfinger,use a hand towel to clean off the surface dirt and offered it to the crowd,for a while,nobody came forward,in my mind,I was thinking"raw ladyfinger,so gross with sticky sap,must be awful"..To our surprise,a little boy came forward,eagerly took the ladyfinger and munched on it happily..Naturally,that got me curious too,after getting my hand on organic ones,I took a huge bite,to my surprise,it is crunchy,without much sticky sap and has a sweet aftertaste,the organic apples and passionfruits were also much sweeter than conventional ones,nice on its own...without fanciful dressing...hehe..My frds,shall we organise our eating out at an organic cafe?haha....

I am on your side, Nan.. I grown up never having any fast food until the age of 17 when I first try Mc'Donalds. And, I don't like it at all. I think that is because I never have it before that is why I dislike the taste. Thanks to my mum for always making me eat healthy and prepared lunch box for me when I was studying.
