Episode 2634:

Leo Babauta from ZenHabits.net explores our complex relationship with food, emphasizing that food should be viewed primarily as fuel rather than a source of comfort, pleasure, or entertainment. By recognizing and altering our motivations for eating, Babauta suggests we can simplify our lives, save money, and improve our health.

Quotes to ponder:

"Technically, food is just fuel for living. That’s all - nothing else."

"Our complicated relationship with food makes it hard to cut back on how much we eat."

"By fasting, you learn to give up your need to eat for reasons other than fuel."
