benzinha, if we eat we have to exercise
I have learnt this. The former is easy to do. The latter, a true struggle.

Greenfields, my ex husband was one, we called them foodies.
Food, its lovely and varied ingredients, active and involved preparations, slow and fast cooking and presentation like serving and slow, conversationed eating were almost religious in their consciousness.
I got fat in his company and had to refuse to eat out as often as he wanted us to do it. He got fat. I think that he saw feeding me as an act of love and affection and it was, but also destructive in its abundance. We both had to diet and exercise more.
Foodies.

It sounds like a celebration of life to me. Something we can do every day.
And conscious eating as you describe it would do wonders for our waistlines -- this grabbing a fast meal and stuffing it in unconsciously is a dangerous practice that many Americans do as a habit. If I were a magazine publisher, I'd feature this article of yours. Lovely. :)pat
