My nutritionist doesn't talk much about food with me and now I think I
know why. She said something about food assuming too large a role in
one's life. She's asked what things in my life make me feel energized
and what I want my life to be like, but she doesn't ask me to keep
track of what I've eaten over the weeks. I didn't mind, but now I
think I understand why. If I spent a lot of time thinking about what I
could eat, what I was going to eat and what I had eaten, food's role in
my life would be as large or larger than when I was overindulging. And
food is not that big a deal on the cosmic scale of things, so why is it
worth all that energy?

| 599.1 | Food is as big a part of our culture as Cars. | VAXCAT::RKE | Pussycattus fugit | Tue Aug 14 1990 13:30 | 7 |
Doesn't the old heirarchy of needs go something like Food, shelter, love, notes? I think that is the emphasis on food because it is the most basic need of most amimals. It seems, however, that our culture plays too heavily on, and the big interests will not let us get past that need. Richard. | |||||

It's cetainly true that it's easy to overemphasis the role of food in
ones life. Part of every overeaters re-education is to learn that food
means less than you thought.
