Eat Right, Eat Nachos

Today is Let’s All Eat Right Day, a time for mindful food choices, balanced nutrition, and responsible eating habits. Which is why it’s important to say, with absolute confidence: Nachos are good for you.

Think about it. A well-crafted nacho platter contains every essential food group—crunchy tortilla chips (grains), melted cheese (dairy), protein-packed beans or meat, and fresh toppings like tomatoes, onions, and avocado. That’s practically a nutritionist’s dream (if they were brave enough to admit it). Fiber, protein, healthy fats, vitamins—it’s all there. A nacho platter is not just a snack. It’s a balanced meal.

Of course, some will argue that nachos are “junk food.” These people are wrong. Junk food is empty calories, no nutritional value, sadness in a bag. Nachos? Nachos are an experience. They bring people together. They require strategy, balance, and an understanding of structural integrity. They demand commitment—you don’t casually pick at nachos, you go all in.

And let’s not forget about mental health. Eating right isn’t just about nutrients—it’s about happiness. A sad salad might fill your stomach, but will it bring you joy? Will it create a core memory the way a perfectly crafted nacho bite does? Doubtful.

So today, in the spirit of eating right, let’s do what’s best for our bodies, minds, and souls. Let’s choose nachos. Because a life without nachos? That’s just not a healthy way to live.
