Just Eat It

In the last few years I’ve adopted a “clean and green” eating philosophy. The Magic Bullet (a blender on steroids) is my newest best friend. I swear this thing will take auto parts and puree them into a drinkable smoothie.

I take a lot of shit (read this: friendly ribbing) from my closest allies for nixing a hunk of Prime Rib for a salad or a plate of bacon, eggs and homefries for a smooth drink which tastes, and smells, like freshly mowed grass. Truth be told, the SMELL of their meals is way more appetizing, and from what I remember, tastes amazing too.

But every once in a while I choose to throw caution to the wind and eat whatever my eyes see. This is hands down something sweet. It’s when I cross into Sugar and Butter Land with two spoons.

A hot fudge sundae. Not some fake frozen yogurt or tofutti substitute. No-no. Real high butterfat ICE-CREAM made with fresh cream from Vermont cows. Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia will do, thank you very much. And I won’t shy away from smooth, creamy, dense hazelnut Gelato — People, this is frozen orgasm in a bowl. Sweet Mother of Jesus! Pour on the deepest darkest, diabetic coma inducing hot fudge sauce. Add the whipped cream, chopped nuts and put the friggin’ cherry on the top. I’m going in all the way.

This is true BeFAT living, my green and carnivorous friends. Our lives are too short to be bound by a strict philosophy of any kind. Loosen up your belt, splurge, and eat the damn chocolate.

BE F-G AWESOME TODAY!
