Eating Right (Now)

Eating healthy foods is easy, right? There’s so much of it around. And yet, there are so many ways to not eat healthy. Chocolate cake is not all that healthy for me, and it seems we’re having it a lot lately. There’s always someone wanting it, even though it’s not their birthday. Someone among us is always willing to make the cake too. Do you have one of these at your house? The person who is ready, willing, and able to pop a chocolate cake in the oven any time and then serve it, they are contributing to everyone’s enlarged waist. Everyone in my house needs new pants now. We’re getting soft and flabby. Of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that I have to buy every known variety of cookie on the market—and then make some from scratch too—it can’t be that. Purely coincidental.

There is a way. I’m not sure how effective it is though. We need an experiment. Society at-large needs a documentary, sort of like Super Size Me, only in this one the person would only eat foods made the healthy way. They would eat black bean brownies, carrot cookies, and brussel sprout lollipops. When they were a month into it, they would stop and go back to eating whatever they used to eat, and we’d all see the difference. Is it healthier to eat that way, or to just have the salad in front of you undisguised? This experiment would help us all know what the truth is. Should I continue eating the chocolate cake as dessert for my salad, or should I infuse it with whey protein, rutabaga, and kale and rename it “salad”?

The latest update is that I've written seven novels, twenty screenplays, four self-help books, and one children's early reader, but only published half of them. So the question is: how can we speed up the literary machine?
