First - love your art! It goes so well with your story. Next, I attended an 8-week mindfulness course several years ago. Part of the experience was an all-day event in which we brought our own lunch. We were instructed not to speak during lunch but only to truly notice what we were eating - the smells, the textures, the flavors. It was such a different experience than the way I often just put food in my mouth in order to get to the next bite, all while doing something else - surfing the web, talking, texting, watching TV...etc. Great reminder! Thank you.
Great insights on the cons of multi-tasking. Overeating is definitely something common, and could be related to the rising obesity rates.
I'm glad you didn't actually suffer from food poisoning! I was worried after reading the subtitle.

This was great! And a synchronistic reminder for me.
