I feel like there's a question that you people want to ask me. The question: how do I manage to eat so many vegetables?
Before we get started, let me state for the record that, yes, I do eat a lot of vegetables. Well, I eat a fair amount; I'm not one of those health nuts who take radish juice enemas. This is a big change from a few years ago, when I only ate vegetables when I ran out of other things to deep fry in my apartment. There are three parts to my "Eat Vegetables, Die Less" plan.
1. Buy vegetables each week.
2. Eat them.
3. Repeat until immortal.
The hard part is clearly number 2. This is for good reason, as vegetables suck. (If vegetables didn't suck, we'd get plenty of them in our beet-flavored ice cream.) Anyway, my method for consistently eating these abominations is to eat the same thing for lunch every day. That may not appeal to people who actually like to make decisions. For me, eating the same thing for lunch is a weight off of my mind; it takes me 15 minutes every day to decide on what pants to wear, so I need to stay as far away from complex eating options as possible.
What is this fabled lunch that I never stray from? It's a turkey sandwich and a spinach salad. It takes five minutes to prepare, it costs about $1 a day, and because I've had it so many times, I can tell instantly when it's poisoned. Also, it does taste pretty good.
The results, as I mentioned, should be immortality.
