Why is it important to talk about food?

Honestly, I think we should talk about food less. Food, fitness, health in general have become loaded subjects. We talk about them constantly and most of the conversation is completely toxic. Food is a coded way to talk about a desire to be more thin, more this or more that. It’s a place we can rest our deepest anxieties, instead of facing them head on.

Deliciousness: the most important reasonCheap: especially if you buy your veggies from a local market.Flexibility: you can change up a lot of the ingredients without any problems.Vegan AND gluten free so great for people with dietary restrictions – but you can add meat if you want to add a protein punch.Healthy: it’s packed with tons of veggies and mostly made from whole foods – I always feel great and refreshed.

SO WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM? WHY DO YOU HATE SUMMER?

I was thinking about why I don’t like the outdoor cooking experience and I came up with 10 things: 1. I’m allergic to smoke and many things outdoors, like grass and trees and pollen. But that hasn’t stopped me from learning to enjoy camping and running and spending time outdoors. Sure, this is probably why I never got into outdoor cooking early on, but it’s only part of the story. 2. I don’t like fire.
