I passionately believe that food is central to the way we
build relationships, yet much in American culture has changed in the last few
decades. I remember when hand-held food
was for picnics and a fast food drive-thru was a novelty. Microwaves?
My family didn’t have one until I was 15. Now we have so many conveniences that are
supposed to make us more efficient. But
is it really more efficient if we eat while moving and rarely stop to truly
connect with each other? Is it really
more efficient if we have sacrificed relationships in order to get more
done? We all know we need to slow
down. We are all happier when we get a
chance to savor the joys in life, food being a rather important joy. Dr. Nadine Burke highlights some of the
issues related to health here…. http://www.nourishlife.org/2011/06/video-nadine-burke-food-and-family/
