Fat Kids Unite!

I'm calling out to any and all fat kids in the world. And if you're not sure that you are one, you're about to find out. Do you like good food? Do you like eating good food? Do you like how you feel after you eat good food? Are you possessive of your food? If you answered yes to any or all of those questions, you're probably a fat kid. And I say unto you, welcome to paradise. :)

There is such a ridiculous amount of potential tangents with this post since it's so broad. I mean, food. The possibilities are really endless here. However, I'm going to try to limit myself to just a few topics: good food, bad food, tastes/preferences, tips/tricks, and learning to cook. If that still seems like a lot that's because it is. I'll try though to keep it a decent length (I seem to say that a lot).

Good food. What qualifies as good food? Well it's different to each person - going back to tastes and preferences - but I think some things are just universal. Same goes for bad food.
Attributes of food enjoyed universally = sweet, salty (sometimes together), savory, sour (different kinds depending on location), gooey/melty, and it could just be an American thing - but who says it should be - FRIED.
Attributes of food disliked universally (or nearly) = spoiled, rotten, spicy (also a regional thing).
I mean, seriously, I watch Bizarre Foods (hosted by a Minnesotan BTW), I know there's basically no truly universally disliked flavor - it's almost guaranteed that there's some culture that enjoys something others may find disgusting.

And it's all about tastes and preferences!!

My own are pretty standard for a southern Minnesotan gal raised in a German/Irish family. If it's cheesy, boozy, meaty, greasy, sugary, flaky, or just fantastic in any way (meaning FRIED), I will eat it all day any day.

Frozen things are easy to eat, just about anything microwavable is feasible, pre-made things too = tips for easy eating! Haha jk but also kinda seriously. #DUDEIGOTOCOLLEGE

"Anyone can cook" - Ratatouille. Well, if you take the time to learn...or spend time with your mother in the kitchen as a child!!!!!!! I learned to cook the same way I learned to do laundry - I asked my mother.

**and now I feel like Norman Bates**

Awkward pause....and that's all I've got folks!!

Post again soon (hopefully) and please please please comment!! <3
