No thank you. A carrot slice on a bun is not appealing.

At least they’re at a real restaurant, and not at a fast-food outlet!

The nerve of her, trying to make sure our kids are healthy!

“Just because you add a bit of broccoli to a Chinese-style dish that’s loaded with animal fat and salt, doesn’t make it healthy.”You’re thinking of Americanized Chinese style cooking, which is heavy on meat. Most Chinese peasants couldn’t afford to eat like that. Their diet was heavy on rice and veg with enough fish or meat to add flavor.

Hmm, I see that the family is eating at a relative’s restaurant.

The problem with “unhealthy” food (or food substitute as I call it) is it dulls the taste buds. Once you purge your diet from food substitute, your taste buds come alive and everything is more delicious!
