I was having lunch with my colleague a few days ago and as we were walking back to the office, he told me he had suddenly craved for Burger King the evening before. So he stopped at Burger King and enjoyed a nice burger.
So me being me, I was just about to venture into a lecture about Glyceamic Index when he told me quietly sometimes, we should just eat what we want. He told me about his friend’s mother. The lady took care of her health and food intake. She goes to the gym frequently. And yet, she was diagnosed with throat cancer. Unfortunately, she died from the cancer. And her dying words to a visiting friend: “if you want to eat anything, just eat.”
He used to share with me his other food cravings such as wanting to eat his favourite McDonalds ice cream, corn, chocolates or fried chicken. Today he told me, “I ate a fried chicken wing with mashed potato and salad and it’s gorgeous!”. But he’s in relatively good shape because he control his food intake.
So the question is…. should we just eat to our heart’s desire since life is short and we have no idea when our end will come?
