Is food just a fuel?

Just a quick note today.

Eat Stop Eat has appeared on the immensely
popular blog “Zenhabits.net”.

In what I consider to be a very interesting read, Leo (the author
of Zen Habits) boils down nutrition to a very interesting and
controversial conclusion/question-

“In the end, let’s teach ourselves some simple things: food is just
fuel. Most of us need to eat less. Food isn’t love or entertainment
or anything else like that. It’s just fuel.”

Living up to it’s name, Zen habits takes the Eat Stop Eat
concept of food-relationships and boils it down to the zen question
of – What if there was NO relationship?

So while I like to say people need to have a healthy relationship

with their food, Leo is asking the question “what if you didn’t have

any relationship at all and just viewed food as a fuel?”
