Quotes to ponder:
"Food is nourishing in more than one way. That’s why you have terms like ‘comfort food’ and ‘happy hour.’"
"There is legitimate danger in thinking about food as solely a vehicle for calories and nutrition, because that’s when you get into the toxic headspace of labeling foods ‘good’ and ‘bad.’"
"The most self-loving thing you can do is stop eating once you start to feel full."
