Thanks for this great post, but I disagree on one point: “they eat for fuel – not for pleasure”. I think enjoying eating nutricious food is crucial to keep you healthy (by making you eating smaller amounts of food)and can prevent many eating disorders. So let’s not forget about pleasure too!

I agree with you issues of people eating for fuel not pleasure, Danielle. I think we often make an either-or choice when it comes to healthy cooking; either we eat healthy and don’t enjoy it or we enjoy what we eat and consume junk. The media has led us to believe the only way we can be happy is to eat cookies and desserts all the time. It is amazing how much of an effect the media has on all aspects of life.
