A couple of months back, I was talking to a friend about mindful eating and he said something that has stuck with me ever since; he said, “Yeah mindful eating is key, but it doesn’t mean shit if you don’t know how to bring awareness and intuition into the act”. Relationships with food are often not clear and concise, they generally are very muddied.

Several years back, I found myself, on the 4th of July, in rapt wonder, staring at my television screen. It wasn’t the kaleidoscope of colors from the fireworks in the sky, or the majestic sounds of the Boston Pops that so thoroughly held my attention prisoner; but rather a group of people, continuously feeding themselves hotdog after hotdog, that so intensely held my gaze. My family and I had accidently come upon a competitive eating competition, and I couldn’t turn away. I needed to know what mythical beast was going to win this competition.
