A Brief History Of My Tastebuds - Part 1

For over three decades I've been stuffing my face with all sorts of food, roughly half of it rubbish. Growing up as a kid, I was raised on a diet that paid homage to post-war austerity (think bland meat & two veg), and then later, ready-meals. At the same time, I took a fanatical interest in sweets and crisps, washed down with sugar-based drinks, and almost daily trips to McDonalds when I was a teenager.

I joined my school's rugby team, and consequently started doing lots of regular exercise, whilst eating a lot less processed food. I lost several stone and then dated a vegetarian girl, which quickly led me to becoming veggie, too. Soon I was eating delicious, fresh food. Happy times!
