Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm unwilling to eat food that has been adulterated.

I always thought eating what you wanted was one of those aspects of adulthood to be looked forward to when you were a child.
As I've gotten older, I've had to change my food intake.
There's plenty of days when I don't want to eat chicken breast and broccoli and rice, but I know what I have to do, and I know the sacrifice I have to make.
You know I don't care about what I eat. I love food so much, I can't affect the way I eat.
I was brought up to think a lot about food and have respect for it, both as medicine and something to eat and enjoy.

When I was young, I had no choice as to what I was eating.
My appreciation for cooking and healthy living came from watching my best friend die from liver cancer in 2008. I realized that I needed to make some big changes if I wanted to be around for a long time, so now I'm more cautious of how much I eat, what I'm eating, and how often.
