Museum food


Good casual day out of the house, no cooking. Went to the 'Climate Change' exhibit at the Museum of Natural History in the morning with the HVS, an interesting and informative display. Other than the hordes of teenage students making noise and getting in the way, the what got my goat was the commentary about food in relation to the subject. Under 'considering food choices', it included 'transportation' and 'eat more fruit and veg,' but did not explicitly say 'eat less animal product' or more importantly, 'EAT LESS'. I guess if you're going to suggest personal choices to solve a social problem, you don't want to alienate your audience by suggesting solutions that might be more difficult than previously thought. If food is going to get into proper perspective for a healthy planet, we're all going to have to pay more for less. In my humble opinion!

BREAKFAST: 8:30am, 3 peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, water, .25 bowl, hunger 3/5

AM SNACK: 11:30am, dirty water dog, kraut mustard & onion, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
In front of the Natural History Museum, hungry and no other options. Haven't had one of these in a long, long time and was surprised how....bland it was. A hot dog is basically lips and buttholes ground up into a paste, then a ton of fat and salt is added to it to give flavor. This dog was a big crumbly, not particularly moist and flavorless. If I'm going to eat something so unhealthy, it should at least taste good. What I tasted was mostly condiments -- it could of been a soy dog, I wouldn't of tasted much of a difference.

PM SNACK: 2pm, square Sicilian 2boots slice, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
Quick slice on the run, not very good, but 2Boots usually isn't.

LATE AFTERNOON MEAL: 4:45pm, large falafel sandwich on laffa bread, a few sips of peach drink, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
Dinner with wifey at a hole in the wall Israeli falafel joint on 12th and University. Cheap, but too much food that's so heavy.

EVENING SNACK: 7pm, pint of Ben & Jerry's Creme Brulee Ice Cream, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
Oy. I went in with the intention of eating half and I blinked and it was gone! Tomorrow needs to be better. No point in beating myself up now. Perhaps I didn't eat enough beforehand.
