On other occasions, well.. Its so hard to tell.. :p

Sort of gets us empathizing with cultures who consider cows sacred.. sacred in those cultures in the field.. sacred are the cows in our stomachs..

I wonder what other cultures think about us eating hotdogs (process pork everything)..:(:)

Religion and such plays more role than cultures methinks in this instance..

Its also more towards the perception of food. I'd prefer non heavily processed meat, then again the artisan variety of sausages and hot dogs are not your typical supermarket types..

I'm starting to change my breakfast habits..

Trying to get food in my stomach that doesn't have anything processed..

Opa had a nice egg gyro meat wrap with all of the veggie fixings on a flatbread..

Me thinks thats it bit worthwhile.. but still discovering..

Also, Subway has a flat bread, egg and veggies wrap for brekkie..

But yeah, everywhere there is processed food.. must get out of the vicious cycle..

The easiest way? Go to the finest restaurants and the best chefs to get out the vicious cycle.. :)

Generally.. I like street carts..

But the one we rented to.. parked on our commercial property.. had numerous health violations..

They call the vendor.. The Fry Guy.

I strongly recommend oatmeal (porridge) without any of the fancy flavourings. It's very low-calorie, takes a long time to digest (thus making you feel full for longer), reduces cholesterol in your bloodstream, and is generally excellent for you.

Good suggestion. Trader joes has a great organic oatmeal, I forget the name.

All the more reason to cook at home...at least you are somewhat conscious of what ends up in your food. I am like most and cannot willingly eat a bug, but I do inhale them sometimes when running. Lots of spitting then ensues.

So you don't recommend brown sugar on the porridge?

I didn't say that. I actually eat mine with a little bit of unrefined sugar (I nick a few packets each time I go to Starbucks/Pret :eek:) which helps cut the blandness.

What I was referring to was those Quaker-Oat-type packets which have Peaches-N-Cream flavours out whatever - those are loaded with preservatives and sugar and are really not good for you.

Agree that straight oatmeal is good..

Never thought to try the ones with flavors.. but can't go without the sugar on oatmeal unfortunately..
