What if we "dated" our food? I don't mean rebound dating, or nasty one night stand dating. I don't mean dating the "bad boy" who you know is no good for you. And I certainly don't mean the drunken late night hook up.
If we did, we'd be very picky. We'd look at their ingredients very carefully. We would consider what they were made of, where they came from...what their intentions were for us. We would think about where they'd been. We would think about the consequences of choosing them.
We would look closely for hidden secrets, for claims too good to be true, and we'd look past flashy packaging. We would stay true to our values and consider our future. We would talk things through and make sure we understood one another.
What if we protected our decisions about food with the same care we protect our hearts, spirits, and bodies with as we choose a mate. I hope you'll consider dating your food as you decide what to put in your mouth. After all, your honor is at stake.
