Pizza and Coke don't go together well
Beer, OTOH, goes well with everything, especially more beer.

That is so true! Personally, I'm happy if the food doesn't bite back. A few whacks around the ears, some salt purely as an indulgence, and down the hatch it goes!

That is so true. When I was 18 year old, I lived in a place where all I could eat was rice and vegetable, typically the same vegetable until the season for that kind of vegetable ended. On top of that I had to do hard labor and did not get enough rice to eat. Feeling hungry all the time, my sweetest dream at the time had something to do with animal fat.
Fortunately I got out of there in less than a year. It didn't do me any harm physically or mentally though.

Glad to hear that.;)
And, no, that thought never entered my mind. There are many places in the world where such malnutrition is common, and while adults can survive it for a time, it is devastating to young children.

You are wright (  ), of course. Everyone of the children I saw in that place seemed to have a good appetite and none of them suffers a weight problem. Right now the hardest thing for me at home is to cook some food that my children will like. Unlike me, they are not good eaters at all.

I had a sudden attack of wisedom, a while back. I figured that it would
be more healthy, less expansive and more tasty to bring my own lunch at
work, rather than eating out at a nearby restaurent.
Sometimes, I just don't have time to prepare myself a lunch,
then I order "St-Hubert" (514) 385-5555. Best delivery chicken
in Quebec! (I wonder if they are opened elsewhere in Canada or in
the United States?)

Yes, packing lunch usually is both healthful and economical. Otherwise I end up at one of tne many Chinese or Indian buffets or fast food restaurants. Which is fine every once in a while but if I did it every day... 
I have seen St-Hubert in Ontario and Quebec. Never been to one, and never seen one in the US. That doesn't mean they don't exist in the US though... I've seen Tim Horton's this side of the border, so it's not unheard of for Canadian chanins to creep south.

I seriously found that my diet is vastly more healthful and I eat more sensible portions when I cook my own meals. Sure it is possible to eat sensibly when eating out, but it is much more difficult. And I have the "clean-my-plate" mentality, especially if I pay good money for the food.
For an interesting approach to dieting (invented by a CS-type person), look at the No-S Diet.

i just dont understand the whole cooking thing... i mean, when I'm hungry, I wanna eat, not cook.
And if i'm NOT hungry, I dont wanna waste time cooking.

Besides, isn't this way we get married or something??

What's cooking have to do with being married?
Is that the kind of wife you're looking for, one that just stays home and cooks for you?

Here's a better question, what does getting married have to do with anything?
Is that the kind of wife you're looking for
why? are you interested in the position? Well, if you're a girl, go ahead and fill out an application... if you're a dude, sorry, we're not *that* openminded in NY yet.
I never said I wanted a wife that stays home and cooks for me... but I DO want a wife that knows how to cook.. otherwise we'll spend the rest of our lifes eating out.
oh, and check out this dudes post

You're lucky. When I cook my own meals, I have a habit of gorging on them. I'm sure it doesn't help that occasionally one of the meals I cook is a really good pizza.

I'll certainly be a step ahead if I manage the "No Seconds" part of that.

I was looking for an option "I'm on a wacky diet because of what all those years of pizza and coke did to me" but couldn't find one...

But diets are sooo wonderful! Like standards, so many to choose from!
But, to slightly modify a quote from a play by Botho Strauß:
The sheer number of different diets on the market are the proves that none of them is actually effective.

Err, Paul? There are lots of other fun things in life. Have you considered discovering girls?

I have discovered girls, even a few women. But much as life without women is intolerable so is life without good food and all too often "healthy" eating results in bland, unejoyable eating experiences.
There is fantastic healthy food out there, it is more the fault of health nuts imposing repressive lifestyles on people to meet unrealistic and unhappy life goals.
Bottom line for me is to enjoy what I eat. In the company of a good woman is even better, so long as she enjoys food too. No fun trying to enjoy a meal while your dinner partner picks over a lettuce leaf and blanches at your orders.

Maybe you just haven't tried good, healthy food? Eating healthy doesn't mean sacrificing taste.
Also, it's worth noting that your body gets used to what you put in it. So, the more you eat Broccoli (just an example) the more you acquire a taste for it.
Also, there's nothing wrong with being healthy and having the occasional "bad" meal. But, there's nothing fun about somebody being in poor overall health, it's sad really. And a poor diet is a quick way to get there.
