Former hockey coach and legend Herb Brooks once said he found eating to be a waste of time. He didn't have time for the whole process and just ate because he had to. He found no joy in the concept of dining, because it took away from the important things in his life; like coaching.
I run into people often who tell me they forgot to eat. What? That they were so busy they forgot to eat. How do you forget to eat? Do you forget to go to the bathroom too? I mean this a basic human function, to eat. Now granted I can understand if you aren't hungry, but still...how do you forget?
I also hear often how people LOVE food. Who doesn't love food? That they LOVE to eat. To me that's stating the obvious; yet when there are those like Coach Brooks who could care less, and those that forget, I guess it's a big deal to love food.
Well I've never forgotten to eat, and I've never been annoyed with eating. I'm not always hungry when I eat, but I do enjoy and love good food. More so lately natural food - the only way to go. Anything processed, just ain't jiving with my insides. Sometimes I think it's in my head, but I'm not so sure. I think it's true that you are what you eat. When I eat good, I feel good. When I eat junk, I feel like junk. My issue is, not thinking about what I eat until after the fact. I'm not disciplined enough to give it any though. Stupid on my part; there's no excuse. I'll try harder before it's too late.
Growing vegetables in my garden for the first time this year I can really say that it was very good. I felt good eating all that I planted. The cucumbers, lettuce, spinach, peppers, tomatoes. The tomatoes I must say were perfect. Is there anything better than eating a fresh tomato off the vine? I think not.
