What Treats And Foods Seem To Be Vanishing From Your Diet As You Grow Older?

I'm not just talking about something that you had to remove from your diet, I mean some treat or some food that you used to absolutlely LOVE as a kid or young adult, and now you can't remember the last time you had it, or even thought about it until now... Someone mentioned Jello with fruit cocktail- had to be at least 30 years, since I tried that, although it's on the menu of a lot of buffets- and I don't go to buffets to eat desserts... I also have just realized that I haven't had a cheese sandwich- you know, the kind made with a huge hunk of processed orange cheese (pure junk) and gobs of mayo- I hated mustard until Grey Poupon, that was hastily plunked down between to slices of white "bread" and inhaled with a soda- for lunch, dinner, breakfast, whatever... I'm certain that that sandwich would probably send your doctor into shock- so don't tell him, LOL! :) I was never a big ice-cream eater, but when I had it, I made sure that I had enough to supply me for a year or two- along with enough fig Newtons to tile a kitchen floor with- believe me, the sugar shock hung on for days, they actually used real sugar back then! As I look back, I recall several things that don't seem to be firing up my appetite and my imagination anymore- store-made hoagies, with everything and chips inside the sandwich, pancakes the size of dinner plates with gallons of table syrup and blocks of butter- it's amazing that I'm only 155 lbs, soaking wet... I was looking at my client list today, some of these people are 70+, and they still eat like they did many years ago- and I am so curious as to why... I will not criticise diet or food at all- but my tastes seemed to have been able to adapt and seek out new stuff, without a real conscious effort on my part Some others do not... the fun part of looking at my Life this way is that, I know that I am different- not the same, and changing- it's a real thrill and a challenge, too! :) I see something as basic as different food choices, as sort of a "Rite-Of-Passage" (Yes, you may bring on the jokes here, but I can't think of a better way to say it!) I know that there might be some other more pithy-er, or more "spiritual" and certainly more poetic signs of the Maturation Of Life, other that not eating peanut butter squirted with chocolate syrup, straight out of the jar- but some reason, this seems to be meaningful to me, today... I hope that I'm not boring you out of your gourds (love 'em) with this discussion and I welcome your comments warmly... please tell me about your own "changes and choices" that you've noticed- and as always, please have BIG FUN with this! :)
