BYBS: Adaptability

Adaptability is one of those things that I know about intellectually, but that I don't think actually applies to me. Specifically, when I started on a more healthy diet a few years back I did not expect my tastes to change the way they did.

When I stopped eating as much red meat and added more fruits and vegetables to my diet, I was about as happy as a condemned man. The odd thing was that over the course of a year or so I found that not only did I not miss meat but that I came to like the stuff I was eating.

Me? Enjoying the taste of oatmeal? And looking forward to eating beans? Something is clearly wrong. The true absurdity of my situation struck home when last Friday someone offered me some chocolate and I turned it down. Strange. Very un-whatever-like.

I'll write more later. Right now I need to go get some oatmeal...with cod liver oil.

I was with you until the cod liver oil. . .

You are funny! It's amazing how we can lose a taste for one thing and acquire it for another.

For those of us condemned to veggies, there is always our faithful friend garlic....

Hey, I think it is nice how we can adapt to new situations.

It is the very reason why humans have become the most powerful species that walk this planet, right?

Hope you have a great week ahead!
