As of late, I've been feeling very guilty of what I eat. Since Christmas, I've been eating shit all day, but god damn is it delicious shit.
Tonight, I picked up a piece of fried zucchini and was very aware of the lack of nutritional value. If I'm going to eat a crispy vegetable, why don't I eat at least one with minor nutritional value, right? But I couldn't help myself. One piece turned to over a dozen. I got to the point where I wasn't even eating the zucchini, but was just eating the breading.
I was well aware of what I was doing and felt sick for doing it.
When I was eating healthy, you can honestly feel it in your body. I feel like I have more vigor and when I walk up a set of stairs, I don't end up breathing like there's fat deposits in my throat.
So I decided today was it. I can't do this again for a while. As I write this, I feel an unending guilt. Every once in a while I'll eat something that doesn't make me just question my taste in food, but instead have me question all the decisions I've made in life. Were they the right ones? The plate of fried zucchini did that to me.
But is it nature for us to eat bad foods and not question it? I see fast food restaurants all over Los Angeles and they don't help contribute to peoples health. Do people just willingly give up and accept that fast food is a way to go? If money is an issue, there are tons of markets that offer healthy foods at very cheap prices.
So what tempts us? The food just tastes so damn good. It's not high calibur food by any means, but we keep eating me. Something about the combination of grease, salt, and meat keep us content and keeps us hooked on it.
I have to say no more. As much of a fan I am of hamburgers, fries, tacos, Italian, and Chinese foods, I'm going to have to say no more. It hurts so much to say it, but I have to break up with my favorite foods, but it has to be.
