You Are What You Eat?

I am what I eat? In that case, I'd be a lot of things. I am a voracious eater. I eat almost anything. From the dreaded bitter gourd (ampalaya) to raw garlic.

There was a time that I did not eat REAL vegetables. My taste buds were friendly only to potatoes, tomatoes and eggplant (technically, the last two are considered fruits!). The rest were meat, red and white.

Vegetable to me was an alien concept.

But as I age slowly, vegetables seem like a long, lost friend. They are there all the while, giving me nutrition even as disregarded them.

There was also a time I pondered on becoming a true-blue vegetarian. But I love seafoods. So I abandoned the idea.

No matter. Food is food. I celebrate each meal as if it were the last. (Ooops, don't forget to say grace before and after each meal.)
