Food is a fascinating topic for many people. It is a topic for conversation, for debate, and for eating. For me, I was not born with any particular food preferences. What I did have growing up was a tendency to “eat” anything with a bit of sauce and a bit of cheese. I just didn’t give a fuck.
Food has always been an important part of my life. I don’t take it seriously, but I take it very seriously. This is my food philosophy. I like to think of food as a way to express all the things we are passionate about — which are, of course, all about eating. That said, we all have our preferences, and you are probably familiar with the “dirt” versus “dirtiness” debate among food snobs.
That’s pretty much my personal favorite argument. I think it’s bullshit for anyone to think that what’s in your mouth is what’s in your head. I don’t just mean that food is just something we pass around, but that it’s actually being consumed by another person. There are people that eat food to feed their families and for pleasure and other people that eat food to feed their brains.
Actually, what you’re probably thinking is the opposite — food is a drug. Think about it for a sec. A drug can be taken, but you can’t get the same effect without the drug. You can take a drug without eating it, but you have to eat it to get the same effect. Thats basically what drugs are. If you dont eat your drug, you can’t get the same effect. Same thing goes for food.
Well, I don’t think we’re exactly “eating our drugs”. We’re not taking any drugs. But we might be “eating our food”. We might have no idea what were eating but we’re sure we’re eating it. Or, we might be eating something that we know we shouldn’t be eating (like a cookie that has a certain protein in it). Or something that we want to eat but we dont want to go to the trouble of eating it.
To be fair, we have to eat some of our food. We need to go to the grocery store, eat our food, and get some food in our stomach. But we need to remember that our food is for our body and not just for us.
We also have to remember that our bodies are made up of cells, and we are not our bodies. It’s not like we are some sort of super organism that we can change into. We can’t, we don’t want to, and we know that we are just going to have to accept that we might not be able to do whatever we want.
To be fair, though, I’d not call it a “solution” to life as we know it. It’s just that we can’t go to the grocery store, eat our food, and get some food in our stomach. I know I don’t want to, but I don’t know that I don’t know the meaning of life if I don’t.
There is also a point to this post. We can be so selfish that we think to ourselves, “I dont want to get food in my stomach”, or if I want to get food in my stomach, I know that I must have food in my stomach. I’m not going to tell you that we can’t be selfish in the sense that we don’t want to be hungry.
A lot of the time we dont want to be a starving person. We dont want to be in a situation where we cant keep food in our stomach, or for that matter, in our stomach, or for that matter, in our stomach.
