Strawberries!

I'm not sure if it will come to a shock to you to find out that my favorite food is the humble strawberry. Ever since I can remember I have been eating pints of them.

Well, it looks like someone found their crayola twistable colored pencils!

I actually am obsessed with every fruit, out of everyone I have tried I haven't found one that I haven't liked. As a result of my passion for fruit, my mother decided to nickname me the "fruit whore." Endearing right? Well, I guess the nicknames serves  me right. I will literally eat a carton of raspberries in one sitting, and those suckers are not cheap. My mother gets quite mad when I will down $10 worth of fruit for an afternoon snack, but I always tell her that it's better than me eating potato chips.

With that point, strawberries are pretty darn healthy! Due to some googleing I found out that strawberries help prevent cancer and alzheimer's disease, reduce the risk for coronary heart diseases, and they are an anti-inflammatory (whatever that means). Now you see why this is a valid excuse for my mother!!

But there is a warning with eating too much fruit, you might get sick. This could be a result of the sugar and some fruits are quite acidic. I learned this the hard way when I about 10 years old. I remember waking up in the middle of the night with the worst acid reflux, it literally felt like a tiny dinosaur was trying to claw its way out of my stomach and up my esophagus.

I hope this was a long enough explanation of my favorite food. Tomorrow I shall try to draw my favorite place! Where to choose!?!?!?
