Whilst I sit down to eat the food I’ve ordered; I begin to scoop the meat and rice with a fork and eat as much as I can. I realised there was an unpleasant taste, and when I looked at the meat I realised there was fat on it too; On each piece. I started to lose my appetite, but I also realised, I NEED to eat this food. I also wondered… is that how I treat the fat on my own body, too? Is it really that disgraceful, and distasteful? Does it really put men off their meal?!?
