Healthy eating

I have a very important message to tell everyone today. It starts with a story:

Once there was a person. Like most people, this person had to eat, but she was also fairly lazy and didn't like washing up. Often times she would eat pasta and rice and all sorts of ovenable bakable foodstuffs, but this was not what dietitians like to call a balenced diet. For although it was complete in the carbs/proteins/dairy, it was lacking  in the fruit and veg. Sometimes it would feel like it would be too much effort to put on an extra saucepan for carrots, and even more to wash it up afterwards. It's not like they would taste particularly good anyway. Healthy eating was for healty people with real cooking abilities, but do you know what?

This person was wrong.                  *que epic music*
Fruit and vegitables are an important part of daily eating, and they take no effort at all to cook. Shame on you if you cannot find the time whilst cooking your meal to put some peas on! They only take 4-5 mins.
If you're cooking anything in a saucepan, put your vegitables in with it! You don't even have to do any extra washing up. Rice and carrots, pasta and peas, this is the way to go. It even tastes good. I This Person did not know what she was missing. No longer is the basic meal pasta and cheese, now it is pasta, peas and cheese. Not only does this add alteration, but it also rhymes. What more could you want from a meal? Add some mushrooms, bacon and onion and it's not even pasta and cheese anymore.

Eat healthy people, you have absolutely no reason not to.

And yes, I am eating an apple right now.
