Slowing down to eat/cook have made a big impact in my life. My kids are now old enough to cook as well, and while a lot of that is things like Mac & cheese, I think it's a good start.

Teaching kids to cook is one of the most humane and long-lasting life skills a parent can impart. When a person can control what they put into their mouths, they are free.

It’s just food. You have to eat a certain amount or you starve. Anything more is just fetishization of the eating process.

People who spend all fucking day talking about what they are going to eat later, and when, and how they will cook it, are the most annoying people on the planet. It’s food. You put it in your mouth and swallow it. It’s not some hypersexual ritual. Chew it, swallow, and get it over with so you can go do something useful.

"Tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are." what a great take you have. I've converted many a hardened palette such as yours!

The social aspects of slowing down to cook are incredible.
