I'm hungry.

Hi everyone! Today we have to talk about a topic I really love, almost as much as I loved writing about animals: FOOD.

Well, I have to start stating this: I love food, eating, trying different flavours and types of food. I love going out to eat to different places and eating strange stuff. I really love to try new flavours. But always without meat: like a said some posts ago I think, I don't eat beef, pork of chicken since I was 14 years old. I haven't even tried a little since then, and I don't crave for it either. I do eat fish and I like it too. So when I go out to eat it's difficult sometimes, because there are a lot of restaurants that have not vegetarian alternatives. I think there is a lot of people that have problems with this, not only vegetarians, also people with deseases like food allergies or diabetes, restaurants sometimes offer really little alternatives to people that don't eat some types of food.

Cat's aren't vegetarians. But I'm a human still so I'm okay. I love vegetables of all kinds, shapes and colours,

I love sweets too, I really love eating chocolate, cookies, and all that kind of stuff. I know it's not that good for me, so I try to control myself, or buying integral cookies and sugar free chocolate. I always try to look at the nutricional information in the packages, to know what I'm, really eating. I try to take care of what I eat, because some time ago I didn't really cared and I ate a lot of bad stuff for me, so I realized that maked me feel bad and without enough energy to face everyday's activities. I even had to start taking vitamin pills. So since then I started being more conscious of what I eat: I think it's important because it really affects how your body works, and you really do feel better when you eat healthy food. This doesn't mean you have to starve and eat just lettuce, there's a lot of alternatives and things to eat, variety is really important too to have a good diet. I have never been on a stric diet, I just try to watch out what I eat, and integrating in my habits buying and cooking nice stuff.

But I still love sweets.

I started cooking more when I moved to Santiago, before that I was a disaster in the kitchen. But I had to learn because I live alone, so I started looking at recipes in the internet. Sometimes it was a disaster (like a time a did rice and it was horrible and had to throw it), but it mostly comes out good now. I have learned to cook a lot of different things and I try to learn more. I'm not that good yet I think, but at least my boyfriend says he likes a lot the things I cook. He cooks really good as well.

When I was little I was really bad at eating, I have some traumas with this. I didn't liked a lot of food, and when I was in school or in my house people made me eat more tan I could, I was really small and I felt full really fast. I remember being obligated to eat everything at school, and staying hours trying to finish my plate. I really hated it. It was like this mostly untill I stopped eating meat: I had to learn to eat again, be more conscious of what I ate, trying different things and alternatives, and it really opened my options. Since then there's not a vegetable I really hate, I can stand all of them. Even if there's some that I don't love too much, like cauliflower, I can still eat it. When I was a girl I would just put it aside.

I eat when I'm happy and sad, but when I'm sad I tend to eat junk food, because it generates me a lot of anxiety, so I crave the fat in the food. I like fast food, but I try to avoid it as much as I can. But I don't think it's a sin to eat fast food once in a while, as long it's not everyday either. Well, I can't judge people who does this, I just don't like in myself because I really feel the difference in my body.

I love eating sushi. I tried it for the first time when I was like 13 years old and I fell in love. I like the fact that it's everyday more accesible, and there are a lot of places you can eat sushi nowadays. And I love the fact that it has delivery, because I accept that I am lazy, and food coming to your door must be the greatest idea ever. I like chilean food too, but most of it has meat. My all time favourite is "humitas". I love mexican food, italian food, oriental food, mostly everything. But I don't like food that is to hot, like chilli, because I don't tolerate it much. But "merkén" is okay and I like it, I like food that is really spiced up. To drink I love natural juices because I love fruits, I like drinking wáter too. I drink soda too, but I try to buy just sodas without sugar.

Well, and I love pizza as much a everyone too.

But I want mine without the pepperoni.

Well, writing about his made me kind of hungry. See you in the next post!
