Modern day Americans seek variety in many areas of life. There is a strong supply of products and services that cater to large and small audiences. It's common for people to have a varied tastes in literature, music, hobbies, and much more. Food is no exception. The American diet is such a mix of different foods that you could go weeks without repeating the same meal if you desired.
Pre-WW I would eat so many different dishes that repeating so many of the same foods for the last eight days has started to irk me. I made it to lunch and went to Blimpie's instead of Subway. Not much of a difference there but it was five more points. My wife made a reportedly delicous cheddar broccoli soup but I decided to forgo the 23 points for a medium Mexican dinner. I went to La Granjero, a small Mexican dive on the West side of Grand Rapids, for a meat and guacamole taco, rice, and beans. Since I hadn't eaten in over 6 hours I was satisfied but not overly full. I felt good about the day since I was able to eat some tasty foods and stayed on budget. Subway and salad can wait until tomorrow.
