The View, The Food, and Men Who Love Football and the Beach: How Do You Get Men You Love to Eat Healthy Foods While They Are Thinking Sports
I had a good laugh while watching The View this morning. Elisabeth Hasselbeck brought her husband to the set with a nutritionist and tried to show how a man that is loved can introduce healthier foods into his diet while watching the Sports he loves on TV or going to the beach or any other outing that requires occasional sustenance as a sporting event.
Hasselbeck sat in front of a football game and was tempted by healthier versions of BBQ chips, sticks replacing pretzels, savory and sweet dips, and some better snacks with salsa along with his beer.
Then they whisked him off to a make-shift beach set and forced wraps and other goodies in front of his face, so he wouldn’t have to go on a mission down the beach foraging for fast food. He actually liked most of the food that he tasted…the wings and things that were prepared with healthier ingredients. It was funny and amusing!
Whoopi stepped in to steal away with some of the food. I think that she was secretly sampling it behind the curtains. Who knows… Maybe she’ll confess to the Nuns with her sister act buddies! Whoopi could use some healthy food that she would find tasty. She has one challenging palate…
Back to the BBQ Chips with those who consider food and Sports to be intertwined… I would suggest that you get your men to actually prepare their food, instead of waiting to be fed by their women. They can BBQ. They can grill. They can boil water. Which means that they can add shrimp, tofu, seitan, exotic meats like buffalo, alligator, emu, ostrich, and antelope to the beach, the backyard, and the tailgate parties.
One of the most beloved dishes in my natural foods restaurant was barbequed tofu. I had the football team, the weight lifters, and other brawny guys who loved Sports come into my place and chow down. They never left without being totally satisfied and full. They ate healthy whole foods and never complained. They even came to my cooking classes and brought in their buddies to sample the food.
You can definitely get your men to eat healthy food, to learn to prepare healthy foods, and to introduce them to their families and friends…one bite at a time!
