Fruit bowl

 

I am a paragon of proper eating.  I think the basis for any healthy eating plan is a well rounded diet that includes lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.  Fruit especially.

Okay an onion (with a bit on cilantro stuck to it, no less) isn't exactly fruit but real estate on the counter at my dad's house is tight so the onion and garlic frequently share the same bowl with the fruit.

Where was I?  Oh yes - my beyond reproach eating habits.  I am blessed to live in a place where fresh fruits and vegetables are plentiful and varied. 

We have bananas, pears, mangos, (garlic).....wait a minute.  What is that?  I know the USDA came up with a new eating pyramid not too long ago but I don't recall chocolate being relabelled fruit (but truth be told - I think they are kind of skimpy on the oils/fats part of the pyramid so I don't always exactly follow their guidelines).

Okay so maybe not a paragon of proper eating.  But I do believe chocolate is part of a well rounded diet.  Especially straight out of the bag.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to go brush the tortilla chip crumbs out of my keyboard.

Of course! How well-rounded can a diet be without chocolate?
