here's to your health


Health food. I'm not sure what that is. It could be granola and sprouted grain bread or it could be steak and chicken and fish (to the exclusion of granola and sprouted grain bread) or it could be a "balanced diet" containing fruit and meat and bread and cheese.

I often know what good food is. I find that regular food can become good food if I'm hungry. And good food can become great food if I'm just hungry enough, but not too hungry.

I know, also, that Hershey's syrup is good food. I suggest that you drizzle it over your healthy raspberry yogurt. I highly suggest that. You can put granola in it, too, if you want. That addition might make it more healthy. Crunchy, chocolately, and tasty.

I'm thinking of healthy food because, as I went to work, I realized I was hungry and had limited time to get and eat food. I thought about McDonald's and their grilled classic chicken sandwich with no mayonnaise. I like that. But it's a little pricey. And then I realized I had a Lean Cuisine Chicken Caesar pasta bowl waiting in the freezer at work. It probably cost $1.50 less and I could spend that $1.50 on part of a strawberry milkshake another day.

So it's healthy, right? Lean? And it's food because it says Cuisine. Health food?

Whatever it was, it wasn't good food. It had the "garlic that overwhelms the bad smells" smell. It had the potential to be good, though. Perhaps if I'd been hungrier, it would have been good. I wasn't, though. And it wasn't.

And how healthy can it be if I'm feeling hungry (since I didn't finish it since it was gross) and wanting to eat more now? I already had my yogurt and Hershey's syrup. Now what?! My father would tell me to have an apple. And I might. But then what? Apples don't fill a person up.

Hershey's syrup, though. That's untested. That might make me full. And that would be healthy, to not want to continue to feed myself constantly.

Hershey's syrup: health food?
