What’s your food story?
Do you know anyone who has and always had a healthy relationship to food?
I don’t think I know one single person who does not have a traumatic story to tell when it comes to food and eating habits.
This might seem natural, as our lives depend on food, but none of the people I’m thinking of ever had to struggle to survive because there wasn’t enough nutritious food around.
The complicated relationship many of us have to food comes from a complicated relationship to nourishment and care, and so how well we learned to take care of ourselves, shows in how well we can nourish ourselves with food.
