I came across the below blogging prompt from The Daily Post free E-Book : 365 Writing Prompts last week.
If you could get all the nutrition you needed in a day with a pill - no worrying about what to eat, no food preparation - would you do it ?
Damn right I would !! I'm well aware that a 'nutrition pill' or a 'food pill' can't ever really substitute real food - however, given the fact that I'm not really a foodie - such a pill would make my life easier !
I love desserts ! I have a baaaaaad sweet tooth. I'm one of those people who would happily skip all meals and replace them with something sweet. Therefore an all-in-one nutrition pill would be quite ideal for me to ensure that I get my 5-a-day. Mind you, I'm quite sure that I would still eat things such as fruits, cereal / muesli, smoothies, other liquids (coconut water, lemonade, a yogurt based drink known as 'lassi') and of course actual chocolates / desserts.
There is no substitute for dessert in my eyes. I'm suddenly craving a small bowl of nutella and crunchy peanut butter along with an apple ! [I'm making it a healthy-ish dessert]
At the end of the day, I'm the kind of person who enjoys going out to eat (hint - I don't have to cook) and at the same time I enjoy cooking for a group of friends for a brunch / dinner party. I never really make an effort when it comes to 'food' when I'm looking to grab a bite on my own. Give me fruit yogurts and I could eat them all through the day.
What about you ? Would you take the pill substitute and forsake the prep time required in making a full meal ? Think of all the time that could be saved that is spent cooking (yes, I know I'm making it sound like a task). I know it doesn't take long to actually cook if you plan your meals out or have a stocked fridge (neither of which is applicable to me haha).
