"take care of your body,
it's the only place you have to LIVE"
our society is very keen on living life monogamously. this works wonderfully in certain situations like relationships. it's tolerable in religions and political views. but what about food? should we lead a monogamous diet? i am rambling aren't i? i was just going through a flurry of unconnected thoughts and it occurred to me that we are quite obsessive as a society on favorites. you've heard the question before: what's your favorite color? what's your favorite holiday? what's your favorite food? and most of us can instantaneously come up with one or two items at the least. this is the food that we are willing to have day in and out, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. for me it was anything potatoes.
so back to monogamy, i feel like once we find these "favorite" foods and tastes we are, at least the vast majority of us are, hesitant to venture further. we stick to what we like and that's that. what if i was to challenge myself to be more adventurous? to try things i never would? how about a new food item once a week? i thinks i like this idea. but i am not done. that's right i have more venting. we not only are unadventurous, but we are also come with many presumptions about things. we label things almost immediately as good or bad. people, fashion, and yes, even food.
i realize i am pretty new to the health and wellness front, but from all of the research that i have come across so far there is nothing edible, other than poison - which buy should never be "edibled", that is bad for us. absolutely nothing. salt, sugar, chocolate, carbs, oils - none of this and anything else is "bad". we often label food as good and bad, but these are falsified beliefs and myths. everything, including fruits and even vegetables, should be done in moderation.
let's move on to the 21st century and leave the prejudice & narrow mindedness to our past. onward and upwards. or downwards if you're looking at your scale.
to the stars,
uma
