#049 Do You Live to Eat? 🌯


Gluttony is 1/7 for a reason	Read in Browser

There is a fine line between nutrition and gluttony.

Do you live to eat? Or eat to live?

It’s not a funny emotional quirk to say you live to eat. It’s a sad, subconscious admission that you’re a slave to your taste buds. That meal time for you has been desecrated into a session of dopamine extraction. Where you fill your mouth with whatever feels good in the moment, neglecting the one true purpose of food — nourishment.

Food is, and will always be fuel. The satisfaction you get from this paradigm is felt in every area of life. Outputs are decided by their inputs.

Once you’re used to it, it’s very difficult to go back. You’re not tempted by freaky food. You don’t want soybean chips. You hate frankenstein corn milkshakes. You can’t stand these abominations. You’d rather starve than put anything of that nature in your system. You treat your body like a temple.

All you crave for is food that makes your brain run with the precision and firepower of a Ferrari. You want to feel the vitality of your food in every cell of your being. You want to feel alive. Nutrition that pushes the needle.

It’s sad how gluttony is a normalized sin in 2023. It’s not just the morbidly obese that’s affected. Some would run a thousand miles just to indulge in nasty microplastic cheese burgers that give you a mouth orgasm. Being a slave to your tastebuds is a sad existence.

Here at the WARKITCHEN we eat to live. While we understand the primary function of food, we seek to enjoy the experience of mealtime itself in the truest fashion. To dine alfresco. To eat with family. To curate the finest ingredients that we can. This is True Nourishment!

Children are simply SMALLER human beings

You don't need to feed them slop!

Give them what you're having, just in smaller quantities. Most "kid food" is simply garbage dressed in fancy packaging.

The truth is that you don't have to mush everything down to a paste. You don't need these emulsifiers and artificial dyes. Children deserve everything and more. And this includes quality nutrition in the most important years of their lives.

As soon as they start to teeth, you can slowly introduce very small portions of chunkier food for them to gnaw on (this is around 6 months+ on average but it really depends)

This will help proper jaw formation and aid natural nasal breathing. Feeding a toddler mush throughout her younger years is not a good way to go about things.

But what if they're fussy?

Explain to them what they're eating. Tell them what makes a meal. What proteins they're having. The vegetables. Sides. Tell a story of how these flavors come together synergistically and answer quest every question. This makes mealtime fun!

This whole idea that brown rice is healthier than white rice is just another scam, or should I say myth in the nutrition world.

Brown rice is just UNREFINED white rice. It’s white rice — with the husk, bran and germ in tact.

This is why brown rice is generally referred to as “whole grain”, and white rice “refined grain”

So unrefined must mean it’s better right?

Not quite.

See, the push for brown rice is largely based on ONE point

The fact that the bran and germ has more nutrients, so brown rice is more nutritious than white rice

And this is true! Brown rice does indeed have more nutrients than white rice, but it’s only MARGINAL

You can get the extra magnesium and potassium from mineralizing your water

What brown rice enjoyers fail to account for is OTHER factors that make brown rice different
