I found out the hard way today that you can run into all sorts of issues when I attempted to "live to eat". Don't get me wrong, I love food. However, the old saying "everything in moderation" runs so true!

Ones love of food should never cloud your judgement when attempting to finish that last bit of dark chocolate gelato on the plate or the last slice of medium rare Wagyu beef with a side of greek salad.

If we eat to live, there is no problem; but once we live to eat then that’s when the problem starts. You see, the issue of eating is not a major issue for living beings if they know how to do it in moderation. Eating becomes a way of replenishing our body to enable us to stay alive.

However, in reality, we produce food and promote it to be comsumed for pleasure. This creates a disturbance to the balance of our mind and body. The more we eat, the more disturbances are caused.

As the Buddha once said,"if you eat for pleasure you will suffer much"...and boy, how suffer much did I!!!
