I've decided that every food is either a vegetable or a salad. A salad is any combination of two or more vegetables.
For a vegetable example, lets look at rib-eye steak, one of my favorites. Its really a vegetable. How? Steak comes from cows. Cows eat vegetables. Steak is a vegetable.
For a salad example, lets look at chocolate milkshakes, another of my favorites. Milk and cream come from cows and cows eat vegetables. Milk and cream are vegetables. Chocolate and sugar come from plants which are vegetables.
Fried pork tenderloin sandwich - salad. Deep fried twinkie or mars bar - salad. Corn chips with guacamole - salad.
Once you embrace the "everything is a salad" lifestyle, eating right becomes much easier.
