How to Eat (Mindfulness Essentials, #2)

by Thich Nhat Hanh

NOTHING COMES FROM NOTHING

We can eat with care, knowing we are caretakers of our bodies, rather than their owners.

The Earth and the sky have collaborated to bring this spoonful of food to you.

Your happiness and that of the Earth are intertwined.

Something can be delicious and not healthy, so we have to be very careful about what we prepare and what we eat. Healthy is good, but healthy and not delicious isn’t good either. You have to have both.

The food that has come to your plate is the result of a lot of love and hard work.
