A Dietitian Exchange

Me: *grimace* Blech. Blah. Blech.

Other dietitian: What are you eating?

Me: *gulp* Blech! Yogurt.

OD: Again? You hate yogurt.

Me: *gulp* *gag* Yeah. But it's good for me.

OD: Oh. Have you tried other flavors?

Me: *gulp* Thank God. Last bite. I really hate all flavors of yogurt.

2 days later

Me: *bite* *chew* *chew* Blech! *surreptitiously spits in garbage can*

OD: Yogurt again?!

Me: No. Carrots. Blech. I hate raw carrots. Disgusting.

OD: Why do you eat them?

Me: They're good for me.

OD: Yogurt. Carrots. Spinach. Soy. Salad. Fish. Is there a single healthy food you like?

Me: *grand pause with icky-blech face as I ponder*

OD: Okay - in a perfect world - what foods would be nourishing for you?

Me: *smiles* *tosses carrots in trash* Ice cream. Chocolate. Cheese. Steak. Garlic bread.

OD: *shakes head* Hm. Guess we don't have to worry about your bones. What about cookies and chips?

Me: Nah. We'll still need some junk food so we can feel naughty.

OD: Was that a joke? Dietitians don't tell jokes. *laughs*

Me: *solemn face* Of course not. We're too busy eating disgusting but healthy food.

OD: *answers phone while laughing*

No pain no gain, er uh, no pain no not gain?

Maybe you could eat healthy stuff with cool things like sparklers, little umbrellas, or birthday candles.

i ONLY like carrots if they are drenched in ranch dressing.

I add wheat germ to my yogurt to make the texture a little more palatable.

In a perfect world Cheetos would count as one of your daily dairy requirements and Nutter Butter cookies would perch atop the food pyramid.

Yogurt. Blech. Carrots. Blech.

Calcium. Yum. Vitamin A. Yum.

It's all about the willpower ;)

Yogurt, yum. Calcium, yum.

It's good, though, that you're honest with yourself.

What's the problem with yogurt? Cottage cheese, now that's nasty. But yogurt? Yummy.

I wonder if they make a carrot flavored yogurt...

You're tough to eat all those foods you don't like! I just go straight for the cheese :)
