On why you should always eat the chips
Oh hai pals!
Here I am (pre lockdown - god, what an age) filling my chops with the most delicious frites + mayo in Bruges.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did I think twice about eating these? No
Would I have done 5 years ago? Yes
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is progress - it's about finding balance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My relationship with nutrition used to be all about:
- clean eating
- cauliflower rice
- spiralised everything
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now I'm all about moderation, fuelling my body with nutritionally-rich food AND soulful food. What can I say? I'm greedy for both. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want food that puts a fire in my belly. The raw food diet just doesn't do that for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, all praise balance! Yippee for creating your own food stories! Let's celebrate going beyond nutritional values -because enjoying food is so much more than that.
Eating scolding chips in Bruges' main square with the sun on my face and a chill in the air is *part* of the holiday. It makes up the rich tapestry of a weekend away enjoying a new culture.
There is no way I'm going to deny myself of that. Nor should you.
