Or than others you regularly interact with?
Now that I'm over 45, I am eating differently than others to avoid health challenges and medication. Easy to do at home cooking for just me, not so easy cooking for the 6 members in my family. More tricky when cooking for others outside our immediate family. Or when away from home.
For example:
I don't eat traditional American breakfasts, eggs make me ill and I stay away from breads and grains. Dmil loves a big farm style breakfast when we're together. I'm not even convinced breakfast early in the a.m. is necessary any more. But I do offer sausages and fruit and there's always Daves killer bread for toast when she's here. She is very gracious and no complaints. The kids are big enough to fend for themselves for breakfast-last night's leftovers or cooked frozen chicken strips and waffles warmed in the microwave . So I rarely make breakfast.
This morning I had baked tilapia and some avocado. Yesterday I had baked sweet potato, avocado and sausage. And was just thinking how different it was from the traditional eggs, bacon, cereal, toast American breakfast. And wondered about others.
Dh still gives me the 'you're weird eye' sometimes with what I eat. He's not convinced that the diet we grew up with needs to change, but maybe one day.
