VR Is Struggling to Grow Out of Its Awkward Phase
Michael Calore: Mm-hmm.
Lauren Goode: But your sugar sort of crashes after you have that. They’re not the most filling or healthy thing to have in the morning, and then you’re hungry again by like 10:00 am if you’ve just had like a croissant or something. This has been so much healthier and more filling, depending on what you put on the salad.
Michael Calore: So we’re not talking about salads made of breakfast things? There’s not like eggs and granola and bacon bits in your salad.
Lauren Goode: Well, you could.
Michael Calore: You’re talking about salads that you would normally eat in the evening that you eat in the morning.
Lauren Goode: Yeah. Or, a lunchtime salad but have it in the morning.
Michael Calore: I’m a big fan of breakfast for every meal.
Lauren Goode: Same. Typically, I have a … Yeah. Like, eggs for every meal.
Michael Calore: Yeah.
Lauren Goode: Absolutely.
Michael Calore: Like, chilaquiles for dinner. Come on.
Lauren Goode: Just mix it up.
Michael Calore: Yeah.
Lauren Goode: What I’m basically saying is live your life. Don’t be constrained by whatever ideas you had before of what you’re supposed to eat when. Just enjoy life.
Michael Calore: This is difficult for me because you’re asking me to take my favorite meal of the day and replace it with my least favorite part of another meal of the day, which is the salad course of a dinner.
Lauren Goode: That’s really your least favorite part?
Michael Calore: Yeah. I mean, you know, it’s like, it’s important. But do I draw as much enjoyment? Well, OK, no. I can’t say that because a tomato with salt and olive oil and a little bit of balsamic on it, especially this time of year, delightful.
Lauren Goode: Perfect. Perfect.
Michael Calore: Absolutely. Divine.
Lauren Goode: Yes.
Michael Calore: Right?
Lauren Goode: Yes. Now, I will offer one caveat as part of this. I put this on Twitter this morning. It has been somewhat controversial.
Michael Calore: The concept of breakfast salads?
Lauren Goode: No. The concept of hating arugula.
Michael Calore: Oh, yeah.
Lauren Goode: Arugula is hands-down the worst leafy green.
Michael Calore: No. No way.
Lauren Goode: It’s bitter. It’s stringy. It’s like practically a choking hazard. I hate arugula so much. So don’t put arugula in your breakfast salad is my advice.
Michael Calore: What if I like arugula?
Lauren Goode: Well, I don’t know what to tell you, then.
Michael Calore: You just told me to enjoy life.
Lauren Goode: Oh, that’s true. That’s true.
Michael Calore: And now you’re telling me to restrict.
Lauren Goode: If you get enjoyment out of arugula, I don’t know what to tell you.
Boone Ashworth: Oh. I’ll go to bat for arugula. It’s all right. It’s pretty good. I’ll eat it.
