Food is Fuel.
Food is Medicine.
Food is Love.
Sound kinda all over the place? Nope. We, as an extremely hearty species, can survive on most anything as long as we have water, so the fuel thing references the simple fact that we need it to get up off our haunches and be functional.
But that’s not good enough.
A load of fuel may allow you to function on most levels for a while but soon you realize that you feel better when you eat one thing and bad when you eat another. The best foods give us growth, healing, strength, mental clarity, agility, and lasting health. But, let’s be honest, even the best foods taste better with friends and family, together, talking, sharing and enjoying. Life is too short to live without delicious, fresh, nutritious food that can be appreciated with someone else that you care about.
