Choosing to eat healthy

[Phronesis]

I always try to eat a healthy diet.

However, last week, I was presented with a bit of a conundrum while eating out at a moo gattat (barbeque) restaurant with my girlfriend.

There before me in the self serve bain marie trays were three different processed food choices:

1. Angry birds

2. Pandas

3. Nemos

I pondered for a moment and then realised that the Angry Birds could be viewed as poultry, the Pandas as red meat, and the Nemos as seafood. Happy with my epiphany, I filled my plate up with Nemos as I am currently trying to stock up on Omega 3.

What would you have done?

I eat at those places regularly and have never had a problem. We also take guests in town visiting to them and they have never had a problem. The only way to get close to a guarantee on quality, well prepared, healthy food, is to do it yourself.

To the OP, I would choose the angry birds and pandas, i know fish is good for you but just dont like it.

I have a diarrhea again. I went to eat in a cheap Thai restaurant that looks very nice inside, it's an air-conditioned place. They prepare the food outside on a dirty, old wooden table, without sheet or cutting board, which they never clean.They cut fresh vegetables and meat on the same table. Rats are running around everywhere.

The strange thing is, I get sick 1 in 3 times I go to eat there. But others, including my 5 year old son, never seem to get sick. So,I thought I was getting sick for other reasons and 2 days ago I went there again. Since then I have been running to the toilet. When I drink water it comes out, as water, on the other end after 5 minutes.

Why do I get sick and several others not, time after time again? We ate the same food.

(In general I like Thai food and I never get sick when I go to eat in a clean place.)

It is rather embarrassing to refuse to go a restaurant because I think it's dirty, while everyone else never has any problem with it. It's like what they offer to you isn't good enough for you ....
