Eating for enjoyment is one of the best pleasures in life.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I really think this is a sad statement and I truly hope one day you will understand why I think so.




Please elaborate. I completely agree with the original comment. Good food and drink is easily one of the best pleasures in life.


I feel the same way about yours, actually. I don't want you to get it the wrong way so I'll google it for you: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/self-righteous


I disagree, eating for pleasure doesn't mean overeating.


Nor does it mean gorging on McDonalds and KFC every day of the week.

It might cost a tiny little bit more to get the fresh ingredients instead of the usual stacks of shitty ready meals and frozen foods, but the variety and the balance (if you shop well) is hard to beat.

I love being able to cook good food, and as a result, the food is enjoyable, and I'm encouraged to learn more recipes so I can enjoy more.


Absolutely. I love cooking with fresh ingredients and hate fast food, and most restaurants for that matter. Although I may love cooking some foie gras a few times a year, what I cook is generally a lot healthier than what a person who doesn't particularly enjoy eating eats.


Maybe you imagine me stuffing myself with bigmacs. It's not how I see it. My love for food and drinks has led to a love for cooking, wine pairing, and mixology. I don't see how this could be sad, and I doubt that my enjoyment of pleasure will one day disappear.
