Recovered from training with pasta in cheese sauce with bacon and a large fillet steak. That really hit the spot.

Okay, when can we all get together and agree broccoli is the worst vegetable?

I love well cooked vegetables. Brussel sprouts, carrots, spinach, turnips, asparagus, you name it. But broccoli? At some point, we just gotta accept that this is objectively an untasty vegetable.

I will die on this hill.

I actually don’t mind broccoli but don’t get me started on Kale

Kale is the worst for me. It’s such a pointless thing. It’s tastes bad, and isn’t particularly more beneficial than just eating regular veges.

Don’t get Me started on Acai Berries.

Kale. Kale is pointless. I have heard people say kale is delicious. They are lie-ing.

I actually have a theory that it is not even meant to be eaten. Someone picked it growing as a weed and,convinced people it was good to eat but making it a ā€˜health’ food. Kale is the snake oil of vegetables.

The whole superfoods idea is bullshit. When I was a pup most people had three fruits: oranges, apples, bananas. Except we owned orchards, we had the works, and the runs often. Plus my parents and grandparents gardened, We ate so many tomatoes we would get cankers. But never did anyone think we ate superfoods.

Damn! That’s propably my fav. veggie. Seriously. Some oil, garlic and chili, fry in the oven until crispy but not burnt = ultimate deliciousness.

But people tend to claim I have strange taste in foods.

PS. superfoods are bullshit, agree you on that.
