S6E5 - Food: A Language For All

Send us Fan MailSo we spent a ton of time talking about the steak that we prepared put eventually get into a deeper discussion about a Language that everyone knows in some way, shape, fashion, or form. We can communicate our love, grief, dreams, and experiences through food. We have the opportunity to open up to one another and share our lives when we eat together. It is a time for laughter, tears, and self-observation. Food is a universal language that we all speak, regardless of our cultural or linguistic background. When we explore different food traditions and customs, we can gain a deeper understanding of each other and the world we live in. How does eating well improve your mental health?Eating well helps give you more energy.
