Food should nourish both body and soul from "summary" of The Dorito Effect by Mark Schatzker

Food should do more than just fill our stomachs. It should nourish us in a way that goes beyond the physical. This means that food should provide us with not only the essential nutrients our bodies need to function but also a sense of satisfaction and pleasure that feeds our souls. In our modern world, food has become more about convenience and taste than about nourishment. We have become disconnected from the true essence of food, viewing it simply as fuel to keep us going throughout the day. However, this narrow view of food has led to a crisis in our health and well-being. When we prioritize taste and convenience over nutrition, we end up consuming foods that are lacking in the essential nutrients our bodies need to thrive. As a result, we become malnourished, even though we may be overfed in terms of calories. This disconnect between our bodies and the food we consume has led to a rise in chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. But it's not just our physical health that suffers when we prioritize taste and convenience over nutrition. Our mental and emotional well-being also takes a hit. When we eat foods that are lacking in nutrients, our bodies and minds are not properly nourished, leading to feelings of fatigue, depression, and anxiety. To truly nourish both our bodies and souls, we need to reevaluate our relationship with food. We need to prioritize foods that are not only delicious but also nutrient-dense, foods that will provide us with the essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients our bodies need to function optimally. By choosing foods that nourish us in this way, we can improve our physical health and well-being while also feeding our souls and satisfying our cravings for flavor and pleasure.
  1. Food should be a source of nourishment for both our bodies and souls. It should provide us with the essential nutrients we need to thrive while also bringing us joy and satisfaction. By prioritizing foods that nourish us in this holistic way, we can achieve optimal health and well-being, both physically and emotionally.
