Troll Food for Breakfast

Do you ever have that moment when you are faced with two choices, one of which is obviously the correct one, filled with health and the promise of a glorious day, the other a sure path to bloated sogginess and a pulpy stomachache? And then make the wrong choice even though you know better?

That was me this morning when I decided to eat macaroni and cheese for breakfast even though I had organic eggs and heritage tomatoes fresh from the farmer's market, which I could have cooked up with herbs snipped that minute from my little herb garden. But the allure of mac-n-cheese was too strong! Mmmm, salt and grease and cheesy (I suppose you can't really call it goodness if it makes you sick, can you?) ness.

What trollish contrariness to choose that hellish breakfast with complete disregard for the consequences! (though there may have been a twinge of uneasiness in there) How brave of me to chow down on crap food when I have the option of gourmet delicacy! how ridiculous to claim that mac-n-cheese is troll food when obviously a troll in the forest would be dining on roots and grubs or something!

This is so true! Today at the farmers' market, Food Not Bombs was giving out free sugary disgusting luna bars. I had the munchies. Yet, despite the presence of amazing organic figs, organic pastries made with delicious fruit, and fresh organic juices, I snacked on a yucky over-sugary luna bar and felt disgusting afterward.

Let's face it, those "healthy" Luna bars are completely gross. And what's that slimey frosting stuff on top made of?

MMMMMmmmmmmnnn, figs.
