Miss mouse's post touched on a raw nerve, the idea of being prevented from eating properly horrifies me to no end. Gives me shudders and fills me with terror.
I just want to declare that I really fucking love food. I appreciate it and enjoy it so much. It boggles my mind how so many people can neglect or deprive themselves of this pillar of joy in life.
And I feel very very sad for those who do not have access to adequate amounts of food. This is the only thing that upsets me about food, that lots of people dont have any. It prevents me from stuffing my face 24/7 (which I totally would do) because I feel like so horrendously greedy.
If I was in a situation where food was scarce, I would die first. If I had to subsist on hunting and gathering I would die before I found anything. If I was in prison and had to survive on spaghetti hoops I would probably kill myself. This is shameful to admit, but such is my need and enjoyment for eating.
I can find nibbling on pistachios as mentally stimulating as reading a book and certainly more satisfying. Is there such thing as a food addict? That is me if so.
