Blog Action Day - Healthy Foods

Today is Blog Action Day 2011, and the topic is food. I suppose we should write about how lucky we are to have three meals a day while people all over the world are starving, but instead I'm writing a short post about my eating habits and how they can be improved. First off I have to say that I love eating and I'm always hungry. I'm also lucky enough to have a high metabolism, at least I'm told I do, so I don't gain wait. I also exercise regularly and try to eat healthy. However, I'm also very lazy when it comes to preparing my meals. I don't like to spend a lot of time.  Therefor, I tend to eat pre-made, frozen meals with lots of unknown ingredients, sandwiches with processed lunch meat, and overall lots of carbohydrates. I try to eat more fruits and vegetables, but once again I'm lazy and only eat easy-to-eat fruit like bananas, which I'm getting tired of, and no matter how hard I try, I just don't like broccoli and other nutritious vegetables unless they are covered in cheese or some other kind of sauce. Plus I read more about people dying from eating contaminated fruits than meats or grains. I  plan to live a long time, and I don't want a fruit or vegetable to be the cause of my death. So, in conclusion of this rambling post, I will try to eat less processed foods, breads and  carbohydrates and more basic foods like fish, chicken and maybe even some leafy, green vegetables.
