Pleasure or Business

I find myself more obsessed with food than ever before. In fact, with our friend here the idea of good and bad food is ever prevelent because he never let's you forget about all the junk that's in that jumbo jack you just had for lunch. (and yes, I had one today).

And so as we watched a documentary, Food Matters, and it all made sense; this idea of food and its power to heal and power life, your body was simple to understand. The one element I felt that was missing in this discussion was the pleasure found in eating food. Good food. Delicious food. Not just being a Jack n the Box junkie, but enjoying cooking and eating food. Macaroni and cheese, juicy burgers, chicken alfredo, jambalaya, mashed potatoes, ice cream, chocolate dipped strawberries, chicken wings and fries, cookies, meatloaf, that fat steak, turkey and stuffing, greens, tacos, and so on and so on.

I realize I haven't quite been able to go meat free completely but I am more aware now of the pleasure I take in eating food. And I have found lotsa pleasure in some new foods. But i'm not quite yet ready to be just about the BUSINESS of food alone. This here is a pleasure trip for sure. A food vacation...
