"YOU'VE CHANGED," my little sister screamed at me with her potently laced slurred potato-speech. [Meaning of Potato Speech: Adelia's my little potato and she has her own way of chopped up speech pattern]. She was screaming because I learnt to cook (just a bit more). Do you remember how I was very pathetically and frantically experimenting on how to fry an egg a couple months back? All in prep for this.
Reasons why staying healthy in the UK (or any Western country for that matter) is a terrible chore:1. Food portions are almost triple my normal eating size.2. Desserts (or what they call Treats) are world class and tempting.3. College Uni kids rules unofficially state that you eat ready-cook meals, & only ready-cook meals, all day errday.
Not to mention, it also doesn't help that fresh food, as opposed to ready-made can food (i.e campbell soup, pulled pork wraps), are almost half the price here. Health or money, money or health.
