“We are not gluttons.” At least that’s what it says on our home page. But it has been called to my attention that, well, perhaps we are gluttons. Privately, I think people eat way too much meat, don’t really appreciate vegetarian cooking and consume way too much food that is generally unhealthy. Publicly, I boast about burgers and how fat tastes good and the burger crawl. Oh my, the burger crawl. I’m sort of a small guy, but I can eat when I have to. Of course nobody has to eat six burgers in a day, but I’m pretty sure I can do it. But I am completely torn lately, I love quality and local ingredients, organic is terrific in the right place and I hate processed foods. But between burgers every week and unhealthy “guy” food every football Sunday, I’m beginning to spiral out of control. I don’t feel good about eating these things, and it totally contradicts everything I stand for professionally. Hopefully I can turn it around, eat a burger once a week at the maximum, and make football Sunday’s a great way to introduce heal
