Food cravings.

Postby Cookie » Sun Aug 07, 2011 12:39 pm

Bit crazy this one but I've been craving mushy peas for a few weeks now. On the radio the other day there was a story about a woman who had been craving lettuce and was eating quite a bit of it. Her husband I think was a doctor and had seen this before so sent her for some tests. Turned out she had some form of cancer and the lettuce was the bodies way of fighting it.

This has had me thinking why the hell I've been craving what I have but can't find much of specific cravings. Nearest was these

It would seem that peas a pretty good nutrition wise. A lot more than I had given them credit for.

Not seen any good quality peas in the body for sometime but with this constant craving for peas I think its time to make up some of that pea soup I posted in another thread.

I do eat a balanced diet, lots of food :finga:

I've just been thrown with the food craving for peas which is an odd one to crave. Normally if I crave carbohydrates its a sign of needing more water in my system, if its something really sweet then my blood sugar has plummeted.

Remember once being told by a popular supplement makers owner not to eat peas :-k
