They’re Not Cheat Meals. They’re Just…Meals

The idea of a calling anything a cheat meal sounds so childish to me. I do not believe that deviating from your regular diet to indulge in a meal you wouldn’t normally have should be considered cheating.

I mean, isn’t that a bit harsh? Cheating implies that you’re indulging in a behavior that is morally wrong. But here’s the kicker: you aren’t. You are fucking eating.

So what if you decide to have a few slices of pizza instead of yet another salad? Take it from me: I eat a lot of vegetables and fruit on a regular basis. That shit gets monotonous after a while. There are only so many interesting meals I can come up with based on the very limited selection of natural foods I actually enjoy.

By the way, I’m going to need everyone to stop making sweet potatoes a thing. I knew humanity was going downhill when sweet potato fries came on the radar. Recently I saw a recipe for sweet potato nachos and I nearly threw my phone across the room. Same thing with zucchinis. Zucchinis are just glorified, slimy cooked cucumbers. Sickening!

You are a grown adult. You are allowed to have whatever you like. You are not cheating when you eat delicious food. You are not “being bad” by having a cookie or a burger every once in a while.
