Eat what is 'ono

     With media and technology, we are bombarded with images of food...thick slices of red vine-ripened tomatoes, thick burgers dripping with fat, yellow slivers of potato goodness.  Question is:  Is the reality of tasting the food as good as the visual images?  Often times, the visual of a burger and the burger you spent your hard earned money on do not match!!  One course of action is to never go back to the restaurant again.

     The second course of action is to cook the food yourself and then send the visual to your friends to torment them with the deliciousness that they know you can create!!  Facebook is an excellent vehicle to torment friends and make them jealous over what you had made and will soon enjoy.

     It is my personal opinion that we should eat only what is 'ono or delicious.  We need to spend more time making choices as to what is 'ono.  If it is not 'ono...don't eat it.  Cease and desist immediately...or better yet, give it to an indiscriminant eater who will eat anything.  Then waste can be avoided.  We are afforded only so many calories a day so we should be choosy about what goes into our mouths.  Contrary to normal notions, it is better to have a small portion of something fabulously delicious rather than a plateload of mediocre blahness.

     Life is short!  Eat what is in season.  Eat something different.  Eat those things you do not see often on the menu or in the market.  Cook and eat things made from fresh ingredients. Use a smaller plate to control your portions.  Choose wisely and eat only what is 'ono...for the eyes and the taste buds.
