Food: The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly

This is one of the more random blogs that I have written so far. There are tons of foods out there, from fruits and veggies, to breads and noodles, to eggs and meats, and still to the desserts. There are all kinds of food that is good for you out there. Fruits like bananas have potassium and oranges have vitamin C. Fish has omega 3s and dark chocolate has antioxidants. Then there are the bad foods. All of the things that people love to eat are generally bad for you. French fries and fried chicken have lots of fat in them. Soda, ice cream, and cake have lots of sugar. Pastries and doughnuts have too many carbohydrates. And then there's the ugly. Some foods just don't look very edible. The varied parts of a cow and other farm animals: brain, tongue, heart, hoof, liver, stomach, and bladder. Some people eat Kopi Luwak, which is coffee beans that have been eaten and processed by a civet. Other people eat insects like ants, larvea, and grubs. Some even eat dangerous food like scorpions, spiders, and the death puffer fish.
