Curse you avocado!

Over the last couple of days, I have made two of the most delicious things that I have ever eaten. And I was super proud because they both appeared to be really very healthy for you.
The first was Avocado Chicken Stir-Fry. It was really good.

Then today, for my special Valentine's day special, I made California Chicken and served it alongside a salad and steamed asparagus in an attempt to make the most delicious, nutritious meal ever. As the first reviewer recommended, I marinated the chicken in lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, and garlic before heading off to church this morning. I would also recommend this. It imparted such a wonderful flavor. This whole meal was SO good. We were making all sorts of climatic sounds while eating it. And we were so proud for eating so many vegetables.

But then it came time to put it into weight watchers. Did you know that one avocado is 9.5 points? As a little reference for y'all... did you know that you can eat 1 junior bacon cheeseburger for 7 points, a snickers bar for 7 points, 3 tbs of regular butter for 9 points, or 40... count them, 40 frooties for 9 points. Avocado... what is it about you that makes you so evil? Why? Avocado... come to the pure side... oh please!

Yes, I've heard that squishy fruits like avocados and bananas are really fatty.

But there's moree to food than just fats and calories. Points or no points, an avacodo is totally better for you than a snickers bar.

And you know what's really good for you? Being happy. Being happy is really important to your health. One way to be happy to is eat delicious, flavorful food. Vive la Avocado Chicken Stir Fry!

It is because of this that I totally disagree with diets in America. Things are not about calories or fats or whatever. There is more to food than that, or we'd all be able to take a pill and be fine. Healthy eating means natural, whole foods prepared naturally.

An avacado is 100% healthy for you, eaten in moderation, as part of a healthy diet.

You should read In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan. It will change your world.

Avocados are full of good fat. Yes, there is a difference between good and bad fat. Avocados burn off fast and don't stick on your belly. It also makes your brain work. I need some avocados.
