According to the nutrition model, there are seven types of food. Out of all of them, my favorite is the one everyone shuns – carbohydrates. I just can’t resist all the different types of bread, cookies, spaghetti, Coke, pies, cakes, corn, muffins, or any of those other glorious options.
There is nothing like biting into a fresh, hot off the line doughnut. Or the aroma of chocolate chip cookies wafting from the oven. Or a large cheesy pizza loaded with pepperoni and mushrooms.
Not only are they scrumptious, but they are such a quick fix for life. Celebrating a birthday? Cake. Running late for work? Muffin. Resting on the weekend? Coke. A special day in March? Pie. Family dinner or for no reason at all, carbohydrates round out or top off any moment. It seems that carbohydrates and life are like peas and carrots. You can’t have one without the other.
