If Heaven were real... what would be on YOUR diet?

For my 50+ years, I've always had to watch what I eat... and when I ignored the cost of what I ate, the scale reminded me later.

So... if you were suddenly able to eat ANYTHING without a single consequence... no nutritional deficiency, no blood sugar worries, no problems at all.

What would YOU eat?

Here are MY dream foods:

1) Home Made Ice Cream. Old-Skool with the churner filled with crushed ice... Every batch you can mix in your favorites. Mine are peanut butter and brownies.

2) Krispy Kreme Donuts, the classic round glazed.

3) Pizza. Don't ask me why... but back in the day when you could get Little Caesars 2for1, those were some great times in my life...

Pepperoni and Sausage

4) Chocolate Chip cookies, home made of course with real butter, brown sugar, white sugar and Guittard semisweet chips please.

5) Fettucine Alfredo with pools of standing butter.

6) Filet Mignon with a Blueberry Reduction.

7) Nachos.

8) Corn Dogs and Chili Cheese Dogs. Can Heaven have a Der Wienerschnitzel?

You guys?

EDIT: And Eggs Benedict with bacon and sausage and Pancakes/Syrup (the REAL Maple stuff) every breakfast.

EDIT #2: And Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, cooked differently daily... with different cheeses.

If it was "guilt-free" dining and not a single cow, pig or fish lost it's life... would you still want the vegan version?

Theoretically, of course.

I read somewhere Krispy Kreme will give you one free glazed donut every day this year, upon presenting your completed vaccination card.


You can thank me later for adding to your temptations.

Those are the only two things I’ve got to watch. I’m not in Gainesville anymore so the pizza is easy to avoid. I don’t eat red meat and don’t really like fried food.

Breakfast foods including hashbrowns (yum). Cake, cake, cake. If it's heaven then you can eat meat without sacrificing animals, right? So I'd go back to eating hamburgers and fried chicken. BISCUITS with lots of butter! Pie. Pasta.

Hummus. Mixed vegetables and tofu Szechuan style. Roasted curry cauliflower, spicy peanut noodles...

Essentially, I'd maintain my current diet, but up the beer and wine.
