I'm hoping to rededicate myself in 2009 to making and eating more whole and healthful foods. Thanks in part to my new job in the food service industry (more on that later), I have been resorting often of late to fast food and grazing at my (bakery and deli, i.e. not very good for you) job, which isn't like me at all, or at least hasn't been for the past few years. I had what I believe is known colloquially as an "a-ha moment" when my S.O. and I were getting into my car for a trip to Indianapolis and he was horrified to find a Wendy's bag, evidence of my shameful response to the sweet siren song of the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Busted.
The thing about Spicy Chicken Sandwiches is that they are so nutritionally void that for me, they do not even count as a meal, so when I get one, it happens surreptitiously and late at night, and when I wake up the next day I feel shockingly as though I ate 1500 milligrams of sodium as a healthy part of dinner #2.
So eff you, Spicy Chicken Sandwich. I can and will eat food that is much more delicious and much better for me and the planet than you this year. Even if it means having to clean my kitchen as well as my job's.

Hi Kelley! Yep, I'm a cook (usually breakfast and prep) at a local independent joint-- email me at maeladd at gmail dot com if you want to know where, as I am going to keep it on the dl in this blog.
