Emotions are related to what we eat, and perhaps it's such a cliché but whenever we feel down or sad the tendency is to eat something sweet whether is ice-cream or chocolate that does not matter, the explanation may go a little bit further, chocolate for example it is well-known for its anti-depressive properties, there for all we need is a boost, whenever we are blue that's all we need so that's why we find ourselves eating sweet things.
But that's not the only reason why people eat sweets, we all love food and the pleasure that goes with it.
We are always trying to get some new flavour, that's why we love foreign cultures food so much, all those aromas, all those textures, spicy touches, simple nuances of flavours which drives us crazy.
And the aroma is so important, our sense smell helps us to perceive different scents and when it comes to food is the first judge, if something doesn't smell nice you just won't try it! that simple.
Presentation is another important factor, we don't have to eat in a fancy restaurant all the time to have that neat and lovely, yet modern presentation of a dish, but if something looks too messy or just not pleasant then you will be out of that place.
And I'm pretty sure you guys are wondering : Why is she writing about this? and better yet: why is she writing about it as if she was innovating? We already know about this?, and yes of course I would not hesitate about that, but all of the things I mentioned previously have a purpose, stay with me!
Food helps us to enjoy live, to give ourselves a treat, and living in such a hectic world we deserve one, so what I'm trying to say is whenever you feel like eating don't think it through that much, sometimes we hold back because well we don't want to gain wait and we want to stay healthy, but this has gone too far, we live in a world where you must be skinny otherwise you won't fit in, and people will stare at you as if you were sick or just as a looser that can't control his/her mouth, you are considered to be ugly just because you have a little bit extra, and honestly I'm getting so upset with that, and why is that?
Well let me tell you why I'm so upset about it, I'm a girl with a bit extra let's say, and it's not like I want to promote that everybody should be fat now, but I know I'm beautiful and also all those others out there who have weight issues, or all those who love food, and all of those who just like being with a little extra. There is nothing wrong with that, that doesn't make you any less beautiful.
We should stop being slaves of capitalism, we should try to stop judging everybody out there, whether too fat, too skinny, a bit extra or whatever. We must start by stop hating ourselves, you're not alone out there, and if you ever feel like talking to someone about it, I'm not saying that I'm an expert on the subject but I will understand you!
Don't be afraid of how you look, of how much you weight, you deserve as much as everybody else to enjoy life, food and the world, enjoy yourself!
