Molière: 17th century French playwright and actor

"One must eat to live and not live to eat."

Today in advanced countries, we eat to be social. We eat to escape reality. We eat because we’re bored. Or because we have a craving. Or just because. We could learn a lot from third world countries. We could learn a lot from our ancient ancestors. They eat for nourishment — they eat to live. If we could revert to a simpler time when we viewed food as fuel, energy, and life, we would eradicate most diseases. Eating is one of life’s greatest pleasures. But living is just a tad better. Dr. Mark Hyman will reintroduce you to food and healthy living.
