My boyfriend has had issues with food in the past and has now asked me to help him make a meal plan for when he heads off to university. The problem is - while he knows I love food, I don't know the first thing at all about meal planning! I'm an intuitive eater who has never planned anything a day in their life. I have pretty wide tastes and never think twice about what I eat ever.
He used to be overweight and overeat, struggling with overproduction of acid, constant gastrointestinal distress and self image issues. Nowadays, while he's dropped a considerable amount of weight, he tends to forget to take care of himself and eat. From one bad habit to another.
So him going where it's just going to be him to hold himself accountable, he thought a plan was in order.
He's been raised in an Irish household that feeds him mostly just highly processed foods, 99% of the time. Chippies and Heinz beans and under-seasoned store-bought breaded oven chicken, a billion toasties, etc.
He pretty much only eats toasties for breakfast, and then a dinner of whatever processed food or takeout he's served. Sometimes he'll eat nothing, or just a tube of Pringles all day. And he's not happy about it, but he's also very used to it.
He's only started eating vegetables at all for the very first time because of me. And he's enjoying it and feeling better, better than he was, but again, this is a whole new frontier for both of us.
I have things I need to discuss with him, like his budget, the appliances and resources he'll have access to in university, more of his likes and dislikes, etc. All important things I need to know.
I don't want him to end up buying things that he'll have to throw away, if I suggest him healthy things that *I* like that he ends up not liking. I wish we had more time to try out recipes in a way that's not so expensive on him.
I'd loved to have cooked things for him in my house for him to try, to see if he likes it. Then we could have added it to the list, slowly expanded his tastebuds. But he only mentioned this idea yesterday and he's going to be completely gone in 3 days! I simply don't have the time to break out all the stops for him trying things right now.
I have a list of things he likes and dislikes, but I'm also trying to balance - would he be willing to/have the time to make this, is it healthy and conducive to his goal of weight loss, is it budget-friendly, and a whole other host of things.
His Likes/Is Okay With:
- White fish
- Gammon
How can it be certain if it hadn’t been tested?
How can it be tested if it doesn’t exist?
Is there a chance of potentiality if possibility is unlikely? Predictability of Precedence present problems with permanence.
You said once, “it’s the same to me,” when faced with either angles of me.
And then for 3 months we did not speak.
It is possible that the way I appear makes no difference because you couldn’t care less what I look like.
It is possible that neither angle was of favor.
It is possible that you didn’t even look.
It is possible that you didn’t take the time to spot the difference I so clearly see.
It is possible that you were just making conversation.
It is possible that you were bored and comparing me to someone else for the hell of it.
It is possible that you thought I looked like a buddy of yours. Or unrecognizable. Or like one of your pets.
It is possible you were disgusted.
But then why would you ask to see? And why would the image of me make you leave?
We are untried. Does this make this untrue?

Self-driving cars might be on our roads next year, but is our Government blinded by the prize of being first with autonomous technology?
As predicted, the Government has signalled its intention to allow self-driving cars on UK motorways as early as next year, subject to a consultation process it is rushing through right now.
Should you be worried? Is the Government rushing this through in much the same way it rushed through the adoption of smart motorways, before discovering that they were fundamentally unsafe? As one insider put it: “we know that Grant Shapps drives a Tesla Model 3 and another minister has a Jaguar I-Pace, and it could be that having tried the technology in a limited way themselves, they’re assuming it could work for everyone in every circumstance – they’re desperate to be first.”
So, will you be safe on the road in this vast, real-life 70mph self-driving experiment? How will it feel, being overtaken by long trains of autonomous cars while their drivers sit back and read the newspaper? Bear in mind here, that these cars will be using the same basic camera-and-radar-based hardware you have in your car to provide lane-keeping assistance (LKA) and emergency lane keeping (ELK) systems?
Although the New Car Assessment Program for crash safety has encouraged and rewards the fitment of LKA and ELK, it’s far from a proven technology in all conditions. One of the standard tests for a Telegraph road test is to stress such systems in known ‘difficult’ areas. In such circumstances, at least half the cars we drive will shy at fixed road furniture, steering the car away - occasionally perilously close to traffic alongside - requiring smart avoiding action by the driver. Safe in all circumstances it most certainly is not.
Self-driving cars will have uprated sensors and decision-making abilities, but how uprated and at what cost? At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, Mircea Gradu, senior vice-president of product and quality at Velodyne Lidar (a respected sensor supplier), pointed out just how simple it is for car makers and suppliers to claim they are offering advanced driver assistance when in practice such a system operates at the speed of a slug with the forward vision of a mole.
Even the industry-standard Euro NCAP tests of driver aids represent only a small proportion of real-world conditions, he said, suggesting that a full gold standard autonomou
