Who said Salads were Boring?


It is so simple to make quick, easy and delicious salads.

The more colours you have on your plate the healthier it is. I love beautiful things - clothes, furniture houses - why should food be any different?  Carrots are an amazing colour but they don't look so good  if they are simply sliced like coins. However they look gorgeous grated.

If food looks good you feel like eating it - it increases your appetite - your saliva juices start flowing.

This is very different from greed or unconscious eating - when you eat a whole bag of popcorn or crisps without even noticing.  And - how ugly are they - I never eat anything beige - what a boring, bland colour. There are a lot of beige foods that are processed and to be avoided at all costs - sausage roll is one I can't bear the sight of. Have you ever looked at a pork pie? The jelly looks disgusting and the marbled meat product looks vile. Pringles, nachos, quavers, hula hoops, crisps - I think they are all very ugly and I avoid looking at them.

Whilst we are talking about ugly food I think Coke/Pepsi is the ugliest drink out there. Dark brown and insipid looking  - what a ghastly colour! 

What should you drink - water only.  Carbonated drinks - I think taste and look horrible. Why drink sugared water or worse - diet drinks full of chemicals? They feed an addiction to sweet taste - everyone knows this but amazingly it is still for sale.
