A diet decreed by health
professionals has been deemed
essential for my functional
quality of life. Approved
healthy foods are urged on
me at family gatherings.
I am trying to comply but
I refuse to interact with the
favourite super food of
familial health professionals
…… kumara* No, I can not
eat it. they are puzzled.
I deeply miss chicken nuggets
Big Macs and fries. I did not
eat them often but the choice
was always mine !
“No nutritional value !” exclaim
the health professionals, surprised.
No indeed ! Instead they have
delicious savoury flavour,
juicy burger patty, hot crisp
crustiness of fries, all so sensual
to the taste buds, such glorious
lingering taste and texture.
We have agreed to differ on
this matter of food sensuality.
Kumara is off my menu.
*Kumara – New Zealand sweet potato.

Sweet potato is far too sweet for me! It’s traditional fish and chips that I crave…….

A relative who has diabetes said she never liked sweets much but now that she is not supposed to eat them, she feels like eating them.

Yes that does not surprise me. I used to feel like bingeing on sweet stuff. I stopped that by allowing myself a little sweet stuff up to the end of lunchtime. Then I had the rest of the day to burn it off. Now I do not get cravings.
