What Food Could You Not Live Without?
Food. I live to eat it. I love food. It's why I'll probably never be skinny again. There are just too many amazing dishes that I love. It could be Italian, Mexican, Chinese, or American. I can find something I like. So when someone asks me, what is one food that you can't live without, it really is a tough question. If I give up something I like, I can always find more things I like!
First of all, the results of the survey went as follows. Here are the top foods that when asked, American said that simply can't live without.
- Mac and Cheese
- butter
- pizza
- milk
- bread
- bacon
- pasta
- cheese
- hamburgers
- peanut butter
Really? That's the best you could do? What about breakfast burritos and steak, and lobster and shrimp! Yes, I have a lot of foods to choose from when it comes to naming one that I couldn't live without. This same survey also revealed something else. We'll go through pain to enjoy our favorite foods.
60% of people say they experience a food 'hangover' because of what they ate the night before. Welcome to my world! I can't eat hardly any of my favorite foods without going through some sort of pain. Eat tons of shrimp...I get gout. Eat taco pizza...get gassy and blow up like a balloon. How is this fair?

There is one food though, that never lets me down. I've been eating it since I was a kid. I grew up on beef cattle farm after all. The food I can't live without is steak. Give me a nice center cut filet, cooked medium to medium well, and lightly seasoned. It doesn't get any better than that!
