Mood eating

We are taught at a very early age to think about what we want, and that must change.  If we all keep eating just what we want it will all be filled with fat, sugar, carbs, and cholesterol.  Years ago Burger King told us that you could have it your way and we believed them.  We all started to approach meal time by asking ourself what kind of food we were in the mood for.  So many choices, so little time.  Do you want a burger and fries, Italian, or Mexican.  We have been having it our way for years now and it is killing us.

I only put gasoline in my car.  I don't mix it with dirt, sand or sugar because that would destroy my engine.  So why do we consume the very things that are destroying the one engine we have.  We only get one engine (body) per person, per lifetime.  Are you taking care of yours, or are you a mood eater.  Why do people eat more ice cream when they get depressed?  Is comfort food really comforting or destroying those who needed comfort?  Wouldn't it be better if you just got a hug or talked to a friend.

It's high time we recognize the lies that fill the commercials we watch over and over.  They don't really "do it all for you", they do it for your money and for themselves.
