I love being able to make my own lunch at lunch time (whenever I decide that is) and be in my kitchen with ingredients of my choosing. School lunch has turned into a constant reminder of why obesity is such an issue. There are simply no healthy options at school. It kinda blows my mind. Doesn't everybody know that an apple is a better energy boost then a bag of Lays potato chips (my personal vice). Those chips and candy bars just scream at you from every nook of the damn vending machine, "Eat Me!" You are sure to feel bad after but who cares about that, "Eat Me!". Sigh. I just want to see
real food. Hence, why I love being on break I can make my own nice little healthy lunch and not feel terrible after (mentally and physically). Whole wheat cous cous salad with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, basil, pine nuts and green olives. My brain works better on this food. No more excuses! When school starts up, I'm toting my healthy snacks and not even going near the vending machines. Those things are evil!!
