Every Chip is a Gift from God! Or-- If it’s not Fabulous don’t put it in your mouth!

I'm an omnivore, which means, like a raccoon, I'll eat just about anything, provided I can open the damn package.

But, as someone who loves to savor things, I've come to a certain Food Philosophy that can be applied to other things in life.

If it isn't fabulous don't put it in your mouth.

Reject the mediocre in favor of an exalted experience.

We have to eat. It's required.

Therefore, wouldn't life be more pleasant if everything you ate were fabulous? So, don't bother eating things you don't absolutely love.

I also think you should be "present" every moment that you eat. Each bite of everything should be Experienced as totally and fully as possible. None of that gazing into the TV as you munch on chips.

Every Chip is a Gift from God in all its Fat Saturated Glory.

Paying attention to what you're eating not only increases your pleasure factor, it will also mean that eat more slowly and that you may, in fact eat less and get full faster.

Or that could be bullsh*t because I want the rest of the world to gain about ten pounds, skewing the average, thereby saving me from countless hours at the gym.

Whatever the case, you'll certainly have more fun in life if you cut out the things that aren't adding to the experience of personal satisfaction and pleasure.
