Some people just don\u2019t understand how to eat certain foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Today is the day I give you all of my best advice for eating a few different foods.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Naturally, we have to start with the most important meal of the day \u2013 breakfast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Poptarts are a great, easy breakfast. The best way to eat these is warm up in the toaster (or microwave if you\u2019re being lazy.) Then you want to take the edges off, eat the middle and throw the rest away. After that you\u2019ll go find something else to eat because your stomach isn\u2019t satisfied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Pancakes and French toast are tasty breakfast meals, too. I don\u2019t actually know how to make either, but I sure know how to eat them!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Drown them in syrup. Let them swim around and eat as much as you can before they become soggy like the Florida swamps. When it gets swampy, you probably want to throw the diabetic mess away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Sometimes we don\u2019t have time for lunch as college students so we have to rely on snacks throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">One of my favorite snacks is peanut butter. Literally find the biggest spoon you have. The wooden one for making stuff on the stove works great. Get the biggest spoonful of peanut butter and enjoy it. You\u2019ll look (and feel) like a happy puppy with globs of PB stuck to the roof of your mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I also really like Cheetos and Doritos. This one is pretty self-explanatory. Eat all the munchies from the bag, then spend about five minutes licking all the cheesy, powdery, orange-y deliciousness from your fingers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Trail mix is the healthier alternative for snacking. The best way to eat this mess is similar to how some Christians read the Bible. Pick out all the goods parts \u2013 chocolate bits, candy pieces, etc. \u2013 and throw the rest away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When it comes time for dinner, you\u2019re probably starving because you\u2019ve thrown away most of your breakfast and snacks, but that\u2019s okay! You\u2019ve got some great options for eating dinner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Tacos are probably one of my favorite foods in the world. I love tacos!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The best way to eat them is to eat a taco from one end and let all the goodies fall out the other end. It makes for a great mess and a lot of wasted effort making a beautiful, delicious taco.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Pizza is a nice, cheap dinner option, too. If you\u2019re feeling adventurous, that\u2019s the best time to eat pizza.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Get a large pizza with a bunch of different toppings that you\u2019ve never tried, like olives or pineapple. Right before you eat it though pick all the gross bits off, like the olives and pineapple, until you\u2019re left with a plain cheese pizza. It\u2019ll be delicious; I promise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Now it\u2019s time for everyone\u2019s favorite part \u2013 dessert!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Sweets are another one of my favorite things to eat, but being diabetic makes that problem. Never fret, my dears, for I will still give you all the best advice for eating the sweet treats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Tootsie pops are a fun treat. You get the hard sucker shell and the melty chocolate center. You\u2019re going to want to struggle with the shell part for at least an hour before you finally try to bite into the center. You\u2019ll potentially break a tooth because it takes forever to get to the center of a Tootsie pop, but by then you\u2019ll have thrown the whole sucker away more than likely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Ice cream cones are a nice dessert, too. Don\u2019t eat this though, at least not in public. No one looks appropriate eating an ice cream cone. Just leave it at that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">As for the seasonal sweets, like candy corn and Peeps\u2026 Throw that in the garbage where it belongs. All of that tastes like sadness and awkward family get-togethers. Just no.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Now that you all have a new appreciation for eating some different foods get out and explore the possibilities of the foodie world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><strong>Brittany Fletcher<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Designer\/Intern<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You wouldn\u2019t think teaching someone how to eat would actually be a topic of discussion, but let\u2019s be real.
