Food And Emotions

We were having this table conversation the other day, and I realized how much I liked cooking and eating at home. I did some self-introspection and found that it boils down to trust and care.

At college and now work, I have been eating out a lot more than ever before. And every time I order, receive food and pay, my attention is always focused on the attitude, mood, tone of voice and movements of the staff. Often, they are helpful and considerate. But at the same time, others may sound bored and tired - a tone that betrays how my order is just one more out of many throughtout the day.

I believe that if the people making your food do not care about you or what you eat, there's probably something wrong with the food too. Nutritionally speaking, that is often true.

I like to feel more than the taste, smell and looks of the food when I eat. I like to be certain that food is done as well as it could be, with the correct intentions.

And the standard of trust is the family home/me.
