January Stats – Part II: Food

Written by: pitweston on February 4, 2010.

Ah, food. It has to be my greatest downfall. It seems that I wouldn’t. I mean, I have a site called, “I Don’t Eat That”. Yes. I hate a lot of food. Yes, I don’t eat certain items. But that doesn’t mean I hate all food. I may be a picky eater but I manage. I don’t go hungry. My diet isn’t the best. I eat plenty of fast food and greasy things. I snack too. I am a sucker for donuts and cookies. I have a pretty rough idea of the food I ate this past month. But this will give me at least some idea of what I eat more than anything. Maybe I can change my diet. (ha!)

I had a long list of places I would go to for lunch. As the years went on and as my taste buds decided to bid some of those a fond farewell, my establishments became very limited. Take the popular(?), Taco Bell for example. I am going to say it has been about 6 years since I actually ate there. Wait, no. I did have it about two years ago. Not by choice though. I was with some friends and they all seem to like that craptastic food. I didn’t want to be a whoe and ask to be driven around to a place I prefer. I sucked it up and ate the damn tacos. Without sounding gross, and by all means, there is no way I can make this sound any better. I had some serious ED! It’ was brutal. Save a tree, don’t eat Taco Bell.

I have crossed Taco Bell off my list. I have crossed off a favorite Chinese place I loved after my friend found a hair in his food. Sucked too. It was his first time going there. It was probably my 50th. Who knows how much hair I have eaten already. Maybe enough to send off to Locks of Love. So, that place is done. I found a new place. Not the best food but I like Chinese food.

I don’t eat at a certain Popeye’s anymore. One day, I bought a delicious three piece meal. Dark meat, please. I got home and sat down to enjoy my three piece dark meat meal. Double You Tea Eff!? All white! Those bastards. I asked for dark meat. They even repeated it to me. You’d think they would get it right. No. No, they didn’t. I am not one to complain. I usually suck it up and eat it. I went back to get my order fixed. Instead of pitching my food, the a-hole behind the counter put it back in the bin. Right back up there to serve to the next unsuspecting customer. Needless to say, I called their corporate office. They found nothing on the camera. But I know what I saw. I have not gone back to that store. I still eat at Popeye’s but not that one. Who knows. Maybe they all do it. Until I see them do it, I’ll keep eating there. What mama don’t know…

After some horror stories about Pizza Hut, I don’t order from them anymore. Guy I work with told me about the dirtiness, the things people did to food, the whole Dominos pizza crap we all watched on Youtube in disgust. He might not be the most reliable source. He might be all talk. But he said it, so I’m going with it. I should be careful. One day I might not any places to go to.

I wrote out everything I ate and tallied it up. I really don’t eat that much. It’s a lot of the same things, just over and over. I do have lunch five days a week at work. I don’t care for our pizza anymore. I don’t eat the salad bar. Remember? I hate, HATE salad! I like fruit but I want real food. It’s usually Chinese, Burgers, or a sandwich for lunch. I’ll switch it up and get something else. But I am a predicable person.

I covered drinks already. Now it is time to cover food. Sit back and enjoy!

This concludes month one of 2010. I am not lying nor did I forget one thing. That is every, single thing I ate this past month. I do believe that maybe I can change my eating habits. Maybe I can eat other things. Maybe I can cut back on the snacking, the coffee, the soda, or less fried items. Not saying I will. Hell, tomorrow I can forget all this and eat the same exact things. Thanks for reading this and look below for photos. I like to take photos of some of the food I eat. It serves no purpose. Enjoy!
