“Sweetie, it’s a casserole with commitment issues.”
JUST THE FACTS. CNN’s “Fad Check” (Oct. 14) looked at “boy kibble”: ground meat and rice in one bowl, every day, for protein. Experts say it’s an OK start but needs vegetables and variety. Sources: CNN; The Conversation.
Hiii, I’m back. Management checked the parking lot.
The protein guys turned meal prep into a personality. Sweetie, it’s a casserole with commitment issues.
TRIAGE.
1. Ground beef: STABLE.
2. A vegetable: PAGING ONE. No answer.
3. Seven nights straight: YELLOW.
4. Eating it out of the actual dog’s bowl: RED. Apologize to the dog.
GOING-HOME RULES: Add a color. Any color. Not Gatorade. For real food questions, see an actual doctor or dietitian.
