Long ago when the Age of Man began, there weren't many choices when it came to food. Whatever could be foraged was breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Before there was fire, it was mostly a sushi/coconut event. There were no whiners, only dinners.

If you didn't eat, then you became a favorite among the tribe because it meant more for them. Then came fire....

The moral of this Caveman Discovery moment is that it is our human duty to continue to discover new and exciting methods of preparation for foods. The hot dog, the wrap, the taco - all of these foods were little inventions in the kitchen of modernized cavepeople.

When experimenting, keep in mind that new, healthy concoctions are the best concoctions. If you're tired of the same old fruit, try to discover some of the exotic fruits such as pomegranates, star fruit and kiwi. Look up some new beans such as black beans and lima beans.

You'll be not only discovering potential new favorites, you will be having fun while losing those unwanted saddlebags.
