When I was a kid, I didn’t like all the food that was put in front of me. Ok, full disclosure, that’s is an understatement. Chewing on a piece of capsicum or tasting celery would make me run to the bathroom or a sink. My parents still sigh when they think back to how long it took me to finish my plate. I could easily spend the better part of an hour, picking out the ”green stuff” that I saw in the bami goreng we were having. While I do not think you should force yourself, or anyone else, to eat something they feel tastes awful, I am glad my parents and friends always encouraged me to try new things and food I thought I did not like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I still don’t enjoy raw bell peppers but I appreciate them in sauces and soups. While I used to despise onions, I now list a good onion bread as one of my favourite kinds of bread. So why am I telling you all this? When people talk about food, I often hear that they find it difficult to find the time to eat what they really want. Sometimes, they feel it is difficult to make choices when it comes to what to eat, or what not to eat. In this article, I want to share what I call Truthful Living Food and what that means to me. It is about how I make choices regarding what to eat and how food fits into my life. Hopefully, it will help you in trying to figure out what works best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating out or preparing your own Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having lived in both Europe and North America, one of the first differences I noticed was that people eat out regularly in North America, where Europeans prefer to prepare their own food. I believe that there are advantages and disadvantages to both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I like about going out for food is:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
