Now perhaps for Kermit’s cousin life was hard. He did live near a swamp in Southern Florida and had to cross the interstate each morning for his breakfast. For the rest of us being green looks a bit different...but can often feel just as daunting.
Have you ever noticed that when you begin to discuss food and its production in a group of people the majority of them glaze over? It seems that the enormity of the conversation creates what I call the African auto-response. This is what happens when people are entirely overwhelmed by a situation, so rather then considering their options they choose to just ignore the whole thing. It's too complicated, expensive; there isn't enough time in the day or whatever... Now, no disrespect intended...but could the solution be simple? Let's chat.
- When you eat food...how do you feel?
- Are you a calorie counter, binger or simply a lover?
- What is your favorite thing to eat?
- Can/does food evoke passion or sadness? Both?
- If you have kids are you overwhelmed by making food choices for them?
