Is food an issue….?

What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

I reviewed this question in the wee hours of the morning, I really did not know which way I would like to respond to it so I left it until this late afternoon while contemplating what I would eat for lunch. So, lunch brought me here…. LOL

The older you are the more time you have to develop a range of mind decisions based on issues that once mattered to you. I guess mine would be food . I didn’t like certain foods let’s take fruit, and vegetables …or just foods in general, the kind is of no great importance.

I know the expectation of this is possibly to talk about political beliefs, social issues, personal values things of such a serious nature that at this moment I am not moved to discuss, so bear with me.

I want to keep this light, besides it Saturday…. Ok, back to fruits, vegetables and food in general.There are to many to give you so pardon my generalize.

As a child, my parents would give us various fruits, vegetables and foods always introducing us to different types from various places. We didn’t (all six of my siblings and I) like all of the types but we would eat what we were told to, because there were “people starving all over the world, even in America” and “You need to experience options so when you grow up, you will know about the different taste of various fruits, vegetables and food”.

There are certain fruits, vegetables and food as an adult I will not eat now based on my childhood experiences. My siblings are like this to this day we laugh about our food habits. I guess we can call this personal growth. As a adult I have changed my perspective and attitude on food through self-reflection and worldly food education and experinces.

These changes in my beliefs and attitude toward various foods occurred gradually. I was influenced by a combination of personal experiences and exposure to new experience with far different types of foods than I could not have imagined as a child. Now I am a selective foodie due to the ability to change my mind on my food selection.

All this talk about food has made me kinda hungry…. LOL
