All Foods Are Allowed

Stop for one moment….Think of a food that you enjoy? Sit for a second, be curious with this idea…Try not to have any inner talk….. Is it salt or sweet? Is it a comfort food you had as a child? Is it a meal from your favorite place to dine out on a date night? Or is it a cookie baked at a holiday that you look forward to every year?  Maybe a flavor of ice cream or a salty chip…

Food creates memories, emotions, and also provides satisfaction. The joy of eating and the social aspect of food brings community.  Strict food rules can limit this joy and opportunity to explore the palate.  This is a great opportunity to embrace that all foods are allowed. That honoring a craving or comfort food is permissible. 

All foods are allowed. There are no foods that are Good or Bad. Unless a food has poison or there is a medical need to avoid it, embrace all nourishment.  This sense of freedom and the ability to be free of food rules… is empowering!
