The Blender Diet

I often pose this question, when talking to someone about what kinds of foods they currently eat in their daily diet...."Would you put all of your days food, from breakfast to dinner, in a blender, blend it all up, and pour it down a kitchen sink that had no garbage disposal?" Most times that question creates the image of the point I'm trying to make.

First off, if you don't eat alot of fresh foods,(vegetables) all of your days food might break a blender! The sludge you're whipping up would clog a kitchen sink, what's it doing once you force it down your esophagus, do you wonder why you're constipated? And then what would it taste like?

Personally, most days I could say that I wouldn't have a problem taking my whole days food, blending it all toghether and eating it. It would be a loose consistency and because most every one of my meals is veggie based, it would probably taste like a green veggie smoothie, lol! (not as sweet...unless I happened to have a cookie binge that day, LOL!)

Now a whole days food is an dramatic example, so what about just one meal? How many of each of the meals you eat in a day could you blend together and still eat? What about the meals you feed your kids? If you're not eating enough fresh vegetables, are your kids?

I once had a young mother brag to me about how her kids had never had, what I consider "instant food", she defined instant food as "fast food" like Mc Donald's, in fact she went on and on about how she had taught her kids that Mc Donald's was poison! I then asked her if her kids had ever had a hot dog! She admitted they had, and she had to admit often! What's the difference?

Just some thoughts.
