Hummus Could Change Your Life

Who knew the answer was right in front of us the whole time?

All my life I thought that being healthy meant abandoning your taste buds and shovelling food down your throat with a clothes pin on your nose.

All my “healthy” friends got by with boiled vegetables and brown bread, a meal that left them unsatisfied and irritable.
The name of the game seemed to be misery, so I figured I’d just eat delicious junk and enjoy my short life while I could.

But then I discovered hummus… and I couldn’t believe my tastebuds.

What is this stuff??

Hummus seems to be an unholy monstrosity of impossible tastes and textures.

It’s smooth and creamy, rich and flavoursome. It tastes how I imagine pate was suppose to taste, instead of tasting like duck vomit. (I really don’t like pate).

I knew I liked hummus before having any idea what was inside, so I really expected it to be full of dairy. I expected cream, lots of oil and possibly meat of some kind.
