The Common Sense and Food.

Moderation is an ostentatious proof of our strength of character.
To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art."

Francois De La Rochefoucauld


I have to agree with the 17th century French writer Monsieur La Rochefoucald. Not many achieve this virtuous ability but should all strive when it’s about certain things, like food, alcohol and maybe couple of other matters. In some other themes you certainly can benefit from excessive behavior but those are rare situations and are topics for other blogs. If moderation is the mechanism for achievement to a successful healthy lifestyle, then common sense is the theory behind it. Common sense otherwise known as sound judgment frequently is missing in people of all ages. It’s a knowledge that grows with experience but sometimes it doesn’t. As a result some can finish a whole pie, two burgers with the fries, twelve packs of beer, bottle of vodka or smoke marijuana daily. When common sense and ability to practice moderation are totally damaged the person gets addicted to the certain vice and becomes an alcoholic, food addict, sugar addict, pot-head and etcetera. In those conditions a professional help maybe necessary.
Look around, look into the mirror, and try to look into your future. You certainly have to figure out how to eat and drink in moderation and enjoy it as it is.
