An Ode to Oats...

I do not like oats. I do not like the way they smell. I do not like the way they taste. I do not like the way they feel sliding down my throat - I do not like them Sam I am.

And yet I have almost three boxes of them. Why? Because they're good for you and I'm trying to eat healthier. I don't like granola bars in any form. I don't like oatmeal cookies or rolled oats either. The only exception is strawberries'n'cream or peaches'n'cream oatmeal or granola cereal.

Celery on the other hand - I love celery. It has just the right amount of crunch, it's low in calories and high in vitamin C and fiber. It's also 95% water. Which got me wondering....we are 65% water, the planet we live on and all call home is 72% and onions are 89% - so vastly different and yet so similar. Just for the record, I would rather eat celery than onions or even myself.
