How I eat.

For me, I generally decide what to eat based on what my options are.  I like to feel good about my eating choices, so I try to include some greens and other vegetables in most of my meals.  I go to the dining hall and grab whatever the entree is that they are serving, but often the dish with vegetables isnt something i find particularly appetizing, so I'll go to the salad bar and add some raw carrots or lettuce to whatever it is that I am eating.  I never drink soda anymore, I stick to water, verve, and gatorade.  I think the values that ought to inform my food choices are flavor, satisfaction, and guilt.  I feel guilty eating lots of greasy food, so I try to cut down, but I wont lie and say that if I had my way I wouldn't be eating greasy food at every meal.  The flavor and satisfaction is there, but the knowledge that what I may be doing to my body is so overwhelmingly alarming, that I can't consume that kind of food all the time in good conscience.
