Food is, or can be, one of the great delights in our daily life. And, it should be treated seriously because what we eat, and how we eat, are a mirror to who we are. Our food behaviors are a metaphor for how we live our lives. Are you adventuresome or are you content with the way things are? Do you savor the activities in your day, or are you consumed by mediocrity? Do you plan ahead, or are you the proverbial leaf floating down the river, taking whatever comes your way?
Behavioral Nutrition gives you an opportunity to explore the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of your food choices. It lends a practical education, step-by-step, that entices you, through tastes, aromas, pantry exploration, simple label reading skills, colorful marketplaces, and literally makes you hungry to gather, to chop, to stir up a delectable meal, to truly satisfy your hunger and flavor up your life.
Our culture is peering out queasily from under a blanket of artificial foods, and apathetic, dispassionate food choices. We’ve spent decades filling our plates and bellies with “edible food-like substances” (Michael Pollan), that we pop into our mouths with sometimes just a quick little flick of a wrapper….whether we are hungry or not. Now we can relearn a few basic principles and teach our palates fresh new cravings.
Behavioral Nutrition returns to us one of the greatest delights we have, sitting down to a delectably nourishing meal.
