No, really. I'm fed up of having horribly tasteless or (tastefully horrible) food that is said to be very good for my health. Screw my health, I say. I can have other wonderful things and still stay alive.
This does remind me of Stephen Leacock's 'How to Live to Be 200'. I don't need nitrogen and phosphorous in my food. I can get nitrogen from the air. And I can get phosphorous AND potassium from plant fertiliser extract.

So there. Six very good reasons to not have 'healthy' food anymore.
Plus, I can always swap cuisines. I can go for the wonderfully Mexican
or go Chinese, Lebanese (I've only had baklava and mou- mouh, well, something), Italian, or Mediterranean.
All I have to do is tell my family I'm not going to be eating anything I don't want to and expect no lightning bolt to fall through the ceiling.
