I like to say that as a child I lived off Kraft mac and cheese and Disney movies. All things considered, I think I turned out all right.
Food:
I still like macaroni and cheese-- all kinds, but I still like the instant kind with the overly-yellow cheese blend powder and the pasta that tastes a little cardboard-y. But I'm vegetarian now, and I'm better about making sure I get all the right nutrients every day. I still have a sweet tooth and love chocolate but I'm much better at restraining myself.
Movies:
I wouldn't call myself a cinephile, but I am very passionate about movies. There's a long list of movies that I haven't seen, movies that are classics or modern classics or ones that have a cult following and elicit a what do you mean you've never seen any of the Terminator movies? reaction. Disney was a big part of my life, but as someone who is old enough to be considered an adult I know enough to be cynical about the messages in those movies, especially the princess mentality that Everything Will Be Better Once I Find My Prince. I'm a feminist now... but I'm still fascinated by fairy tales and folk stories and why they've managed to last so long. I enjoy a good story and good storytelling, whether in the form of a painting, motion picture, dance, music, food, etc.
My diet now? Vegetarian food, pop culture (incl. books, movies, TV), and other people-- in that I watch and interact with them, NOT that I eat them.
