I like this story because it reminds me of just how deep and spiritual food can be. I think in a society where everything is prepackaged and microwavable the soul of food has been removed and eating is now just something we do “Because we’re hungry.” But this story reminds me that food is an intimate part of humanity that goes far beyond calories, fads, or special diets. Food is one of the primal ways we as a species have learned to identify ourselves, right down to the gender dynamics of “hunters and gatherers”. It all comes down to what we’re eating.

Reading this story about a letter from your inner child is very useful to me because it reminds me of how I need to be kind to my body. That’s why I keep reading Sabor a Mi.
