Food (Jan. 21)

Three meals a day, for the most part, since the day you are born. It is almost mind numbing to think about all the food that is needed to keep the body functioning properly. Not only that but from the very begining there is some kind of inate response from the body to say hey I need food. That is one of the most common reasons a newborn baby cries after all. So what about the food needed to help those other parts of who you are function properly? You have to admit that if you do not feed your thinking muscle it will become weak. If you do not feed any muscle it will atrophy. The wonder comes from the idea that it seems that these other areas do not have that same inate desire and reaction to require food or at the very least a reaction that is much easier to overcome. But what if we thought of these things in the same light we think of food? Would that craving we have for a nice, juicey, well seasoned steak become a desire to think deeper?
