Riley Green is a pretty healthy guy – very in shape, eats healthy most of the time – but he admits there are certain foods that he loves, that definitely aren’t part of his healthy eating plan. For instance, he says, “I feel like I could eat a tub of ice cream at any point in time, just vanilla ice cream. I catch myself tricking myself into thinking that because it’s got milk in it, it’s, like, good for you. I will lie to myself quite a bit.”
Besides trying to rationalize the health benefits of ice cream, Riley also says, “I feel like any type of Italian food, I feel like I could go to any Italian place and just make myself sick eating it any time. So that’s probably my favorite guilty pleasure, I guess.”
If you’ve seen the video for Riley’s latest song, “I Wish Grandpas Never Died,” you can tell he either hasn’t been camping out in a lot of Italian restaurants, or he’s been hitting the gym hard. Although, Riley is expending a lot of energy on the We Back Tour with Jason Aldean these days, so perhaps he considers stuffing himself with pasta as carb loading.
Riley Green – food guilty pleasure or weakness :19
“I feel like I could eat a tub of ice cream at any point in time, just vanilla ice cream. I catch myself tricking myself into thinking that because it’s got milk in it, it’s, like, good for you. I will lie to myself quite a bit. But, I mean, I feel like any type of Italian food, I feel like I could go to any Italian place and just make myself sick eating it any time. So that’s probably my favorite guilty pleasure, I guess.”
