Food & You

 Are you a muncher or a pleasure seeker?
 (extracted from Woman's Day - Australian Magazine)

 CAPRICORN
 SENSIBLE IS BEST
 The majority of Capricorns realise early on that it's wise for them to
 eat well. They have learnt from health upsets in the past how
 important their wellbeing is. Lovers of fresh foods, many a
 Capricorn's garden is filled with herbs and vegies, organically grown
 to provide them with inner fortitude to face the world. They are great
 hosts and fabulous cooks. They operate and feel best when they avoid
 sugar, alcohol and ice-cream.

 AQUARIUS
 CREATURE OF HABIT
 It's not unusual for Aquarians to eat exactly the same breakfast,
 lunch and dinner everyday.  They don't enjoy surprises, particularly
 when  it comes to food.  They are not into cooking for pleasure, but
 will cook something to eat.  They are content eating snacks such as
 biscuits and cheese with a glass of wine.  This is enough to tide them
 over until they have a real meal - an evening out or a meal prepared
 by someone else.

 PISCES
 SWEET TREATS
 Sweet dreams hold a special meaning for Pisceans.  For them, it means
 going to bed loaded with chocolate and biscuits.  Many have a
 love/hate affair with food.  They love to eat but hate putting on
 weight. Many eat to ease troubled minds.  That's why so many are
 constantly going on a diet, then off again.  When Pisces puts on lots
 of weight and keeps it on, it's an indication they are protecting
 themselves.

 ARIES
 THE MUNCHER
 Aries often look forward to meals with anticipation, but
 generally don't like preparing food.  These munchers love to crunch on
 food with texture, rather than smooth foods.  They enjoy having a full
 tummy.  It's surprising we don't see more "heavy" people born under
 Aries - being such an active sign, they burn their weight off with
 mental and physical activity. Feed them quickly as they become
 irritable when hungry.

 TAURUS
 THE SELF-INDULGER
 Willpower is hard for Taureans to summon up when they diet.
 Many a Taurean's life revolves around what the next meal will be. At
 health clubs and gyms, you will see them working overtime to lose a
 few kilos, only to indulge in a chocolate sundae after their workout.
 They are excellent cooks (particularly desserts).  There are more
 professional chefs and authors of cookbooks from this sign than any
 other.

 GEMINI
 ALL OR NOTHING
 Geminis often need to carefully plan their diet and watch their
 eating habits, because these areas of their life can spin out of
 control. They often eat on the run, have strange food desires,
 unusual snacks or many drinks (such as coffee) during the
 day. Overeating (or drinking and smoking) can become Gemini's outlet
 for nervous energy.  Equally, Geminis rate high on the statistical
 list of anorexics.

 CANCER
 THE MOOD EATER
 Food means a lot to Cancer, because it has a lot to do with
 feeling loved and comfortable.  As Cancer is the sign which rules the
 tummy, everything they eat has a profound impact on them.  Eating
 excessively can be their outlet for emotional turmoil, especially if
 they have been through an upset such as marriage break-up or a job
 disappointment, or have financial difficulties.  Many suffer from
 bulimia.

 LEO
 FEAST OR FAMINE
 Leos are hearty eaters, but they also like to have fine food -
 quality means more than quantity.  They like to make their meals a
 special occasion. What makes a meal memorable for them is the>
 presentation, the company, the wine and the location.  If Leos cook,
 they have a great sense of style and presentation about it.  Dinner
 parties at their homes can turn into a performance, which is talked
 about for a long time after.

 VIRGO
 SIMPLE'S BEST
 Virgos are fussy eaters.  They prefer to avoid the unknown
 and like to stick with foods and spices they know well.  The more
 basic, healthy and simple their diet is, the better they feel towards
 it.   They feel guilty (or even suffer from nausea) if they eat fatty
 foods or desserts. Simplicity is their idea of dining perfection.
 More vegetarians and health food fanatics are born under this sign
 than any other.

 LIBRA
 PLEASURE SEEKER
 As Librans are under the sign of the trend-marker, they are
 often into food styles that are different or up-to-the-minute.  Good
 cooks, they show their originality and style by serving sophisticated
 dishes.  They can be veritable health-ffod gourmets (baking their own
 breads etc).  The same applies to what they drink - it will be juices
 and herb teas (if their inkling is towards health foods) or the best
 wines and French champagne.

 SCORPIO
 POWER EATER
 As the sign of passion, intensity and desire, when Scorpios
 get into food, they really get into it and overeat.  The same attitude
 applies to a diet - if they decide to diet, they do it well.  This
 sign can have a desirous nature all of its own - which no other sign
 can beat.  They can be obsessive about food preferences.  If inviting
 a Scorpio for dinner, it's wise to inquire in advance what they do or
 do not like to eat.

 SAGITTARIUS
 SECOND-HELPING QUEEN
 When Sagittarians get hungry, they get super-hungry.  Most
 are born loving food and the total dining experience.  They love the
 whole thing of sitting around a table with a drink in one hand, a fork
 full of food in the other, telling tales of their conquests or the
 things that have occurred during the day.  Dieting for Sagittarians
 can be hard.  Removing them from food fun can be like taking a duck
 away from water.
