Today God pats me on the head and says "good
boy Niall". There are few things in life as likely to bring a large idiotic smile to my face than a cooked breakfast with black pudding. Man I love black pudding. I don't love it like I love my wife. But I would definitely consider putting it up in it's own flat and sneaking of to see it at weekends. An illicit kind of love. Only we don't need to sneak around anymore...we can be out and proud. According to the Telegraph it's now a superfood, being hailed for it's wonderous properties. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it. Anything negative I have ever said about the word "superfoods" I take back. I recant my superfood disbelief. Cos this fits in with how I want the world to be. Seriously, who comes up with this nonsense, putting foods on a pedestal? And who's doing the hailing? Perhaps somewhere there's a black pudding sitting on a throne with a purple cloak while a bunch of health nobs grovel on their knees. The idiot-in-chief who wrote the article rated it for being "practically carb free". Just when I thought the demonisation of carbs was coming to an end, some moron surfaces trying confuse everyone just so they can have an interesting headline. Typically it's made with pigs blood and pork fat...yummy. That's a shed load of saturated fat that you'll need to balance out in your diet. Yep, there's protein, calcium, iron and a few other goodies in there but I wouldn't suggest it as a staple source of these. Rather than relying on foods propped on a pedestal, good nutriton comes from getting a variety of foods. Some quality protein, some different coloured veggies and a handful of carbs. The biggest problem most of us have with nutrition is not what to eat. All of us can pretty much distinguish between a smart choice and a less than smart choice of food. The biggest problem is how to eat that food on a daily basis when we're all so damned stressed and busy. The other is the emotional relationship we have food. So many of us use "treat" food as a quick way to feel good. Especially when we've had a bitch of a day. The last thing we need is added confusion by someone trying to get us to worship at the altar of one specific food. Anyhoo. That's my rant for the day done. I'm of to have a black pudding super smoothy, maybe with acai berries and unicorn farts.
