"Selective Eating Disorder?" Grow Up

It is a typical Sunday night here at home. Grocery shopping, done. America's Funniest Home Videos, complete. As I cruised the internet, I stumbled upon an article from LiveScience.com (published on MSN.com) titled, "Grown up but eat like a kid? You may have 'selective eating disorder.' What?!?!?!????

Subtitle: 'Those with the condition prefer salty, bland foods.' Duh.

This is a short blog...

Selective Eating Disorder = Ridiculous. Selective Eating Disorder aka 'very picky eating' is just that...picky eating. Would I rather eat potato chips, bacon, french fries, drink light beer, and consume the occasional carrot? Sure. That would be fantastic. Unfortunately, that is not a healthy diet. So I have to eat other foods that may not be on the top of my list...like dark green vegetables (kale, spinach, mustard greens, etc), broccoli, blueberries, raspberries, organic chicken, butternut squash (BTW - I made a delicious butternut squash soup this weekend - with organic sweet corn, organic yellow onions, and mixed organic bell peppers), organic black beans, quinoa, etc, etc, etc.

I am tired of making excuses for people who make bad choices. Grow up.
