If you had a mother like mine, every time you
said you were hungry you got told to 'Eat and apple.'
(If you were thirsty she'd say, 'Have a drink
of water.' If you were cold she'd say, 'put on a jumper.')
All good, straight forward advice except now
you're older and your taste buds have been educated by the
various divisions of the McFatter industry, it's easier
to grab a biscuit or a chocolate bar in the middle of the
afternoon than it is to go and find an apple.
However, the cost of replacing fruit with a
confection of fat, flour and sugar is high. The sugar boost
does your mood no good, your exhaust system gets clogged up
and the extra calories end up around your midriff and
thighs.
To make the fruit thing work you're going to
have to come to work prepared. Or maybe you can join with
people in your workgroup to establish a roster whereby you
take turns purchasing fresh fruit to order a couple of times
a week.
A fruit fund might be the shot to protect you
from the munchies.
I read somewhere that men won't eat fruit
unless it's cut up for them! Men, stop being silly; cut the
fruit up yourself.
Today (and every other day) have at least one
piece of fruit at work. |
