"One must eat to live and not live to eat."

"One must eat to live and not live to eat."
—Molière: 17th century French playwright and actor

Today in advanced countries, we eat to be social. We eat to escape reality. We eat because we’re bored. Or because we have a craving. Or just because. We could learn a lot from third world countries. We could learn a lot from our ancient ancestors. They eat for nourishment — they eat to live. If we could revert to a simpler time when we viewed food as fuel, energy, and life, we would eradicate most diseases. Eating is one of life’s greatest pleasures. But living is just a tad better.

Today I take my 2 month picture! I can't wait to compare last month to this month... If it's significant maybe I'll post it... Give you all a good laugh...

  1. You must post it! I am curious to see your progress. It sounds like you have really put forth a great effort! (Hey, I was wondering, did you make your other blog private?)
