I am reeling with the attention that food in our daily lives is receiving from so many angles!! When a professional model turns yogi and food guru, I have to take notice and scratch my head. AND I agree with him (well with some of what he has to say)!!! We share the work of finding a way out of the twisted house of mirrors we continue to build with food and body size and get back to listening to our bodies and enjoying food (at least, that is part of what he is working to do). Still scratching my head though.....
DISCLAIMER: I DISAGREE WITH HIS RECOMMENDATION TO FAST!
“You’ll enjoy it more if you eat slow,” he offered. “And then you’ll see: you won’t eat even half as much as you usually eat.”
It sounded like a lot of work. Doesn’t such an intensity of dietary awareness prevent him from just enjoying food?
“Food has now become a burden to us,” he said. “A lot of people don’t look forward to life anymore. They just look forward to food. People tell me, ‘But I love food.’ And I tell them, ‘You can’t love something that owns you.’ ”
