Fresh?

Are You Eating Fresh?
I was inspired to eat fresh after watching Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. He has been awarded a total of twelve Michelin stars, and is currently one of only three chefs in the UK whose restaurant is rated at three Michelin stars. This means that his restaurant and food is ****ing food..but of cause expensive too i guess.
Anyway, So? Are You Eating Fresh?
Yesterday i went to Safeway(supermarket) to stock up the kitchen. So, as I walk along the aisle and browse through the vegetables and meat section and going around for 15 minutes or more, my basket was still EMPTY!!! i couldnt find anything which looks good fresh and healthy.. fruits and vegetables were almost all gone and it's the same variety all the time. People here only eat broccoli, bak choi, kai lan and etc.. the usual.. and fruits? orange, apple, banana, watermelon and etc ALL THE TIME.. arggghhh.. not to complain there aint food and i'm way more lucky than those in famine, but i'm just a little bored with the same old thing. i wanted to just leave, but then again..it'll be totally waste of time for me to walk all the way and not get anything =.=

so..i've decided to eat lamb..i wanted to eat a smaller portion type of meat..chicken was like packed for 6 person..and obviously i couldnt eat beef..so i choose the "tick for the heart" lamb..it's suppose to be more healthy for your heart with less fat and cost more! but anyway i figured that there were no more cheese and decided to do some comparing and found the cheese with the least saturated fat.. took some frozen peas and sauce for the lamb..

okay..here's the problem..i realise that everyone in the city eats canned food..processed food..what the..everything is in the can..it's like nobody know how to cook from scratch..seriously! they cant even cook rice..they prefer to add water and "packed rice" together and microwave..or boil pasta and eat it with pasta sauce from the jar..there aint real soup..it's all canned soup..no real salad..all ready made salads..lots of biscuits, soft drinks, snacks, candies..no wonder people here are so fat..GOSH..it's really extremely hard to buy anything fresh..90% of the whole supermarket sells canned/processed food...hmmm yummy right? those fats goes straight to your thighs.. XD

either u eat canned food or u eat in the restaurant..but then again are the restaurants using canned food as well and selling it with a much higher price? therefore..if it's possible..eat proper food..eat fine dining..eat quality and not quantity..i'm serious shit..eat more fruits and vegetables..they dont bring you to the grave earlier..

p/s.. since losing 48.4 pounds (22kg) till date..i have been more careful at the food i eat.. after all it's beneficial to me AND i can buy more clothes..pants.. aint that great?
