Dear Younger Me, I Like Fruits and Vegetables

Written by , Posted in Thoughts

SmoothieIf my self at age 9 knew how I eat now, she might not approve. She might think that having more Doritos, Crunchie bars, Froot Loops, white bread, and Sherbet in my diet would be more fun.

I realize that those aren’t all that outrageous. I was just trying to think of things that were treats when I was younger.

My parents did a good job of feeding us healthy foods. I don’t really remember hating it or anything. Maybe I was a bit indifferent. In any case, I now recognize the importance of what we eat. I know that a diet that consisted solely of Froot Loops wouldn’t be a wise choice for me. Doritos for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day would be a disaster. Just like my parents allowed us, I definitely have room in how I eat for treats. Definitely. But, there’s a fierce love for fruits and vegetables that will not be denied.

Move over Froot Loops. I’m eatin’ real fruit now.

Sometimes in the form of a drink.

One that doesn’t include ice cream.

Sorry, younger self.

I like smoothies now. So there.
