How did white get so good?

As I sit here and eat white potato to cram in more caloires in a tasty way I ponder the state of white in the world.













In so many things in life white is seen a positive. White wedding dress vs black funeral dress,






























white magic vs. black magic, on and on. Even though its a touchy subject, rightly so, even skin color in our oh so recent past and sadly today for some; pale, white = good, and color, black = bad.

Yet in the food industry white vs color in reality is usually bad, and foods devoid of substance. Much akin to the two colors in the art world. How White is the lack of color and black is all color.

White bread vs your hearty whole grain bread, white potato vs a nice dark sweet tater.. HMMMM??

In the end it's just not a black and white world, food included. No color IMO in anything in life is inherently good, bad, or better than another, white for damn sure included. I know some white things, and people who I wouldn't even pee on if they were on fire.


















To have a full, fruitful, happy, and healthy life we should embrace the gamut of the color spectrum in all aspects of our life. Food, friends, family and surroundings.

I'm just a big ole white boy that's loves to lift heavy weights, and enjoy all things in life from dark green brussel sprouts, to red of blood as it trickles from the nose of a lifter during a max effort attempt, from a purple egg plant, to the golden glow and rich brown that comes from a big hunk of meat cooking over an open flame. Color is the spice and variety of life. Embrace them all and learn to see things for what they are not how they appear. Food included.

There is some interesting discussion going on about this here if you care to read it
