A proverb a day to brighten the day.
249a. Essen Sie, wenn Sie hungrig sind. Trinken Sie, wenn Sie trocken sind.
249b. Eat when you are hungry. Drink when you are dry.
The food served by the Airlines has reduced in size over the past 20 years.
Now we are served only a portion of what we used to be served earlier.
But surprisingly that amount is just enough to keep off the edge of hunger.
It also reduces the length of the queue in front of the restrooms during the flights.
It made me realize how much extra food man is consumes
just because he can afford it - and not because he need it.
When the line of demarcation between the Greed for food and the Need for food vanishes, there will be over eating leading to obesity and to practically all the killer diseases.
Comfort eating is another dangerous zone in which man fills his emotional needs with food. Food is just to nourish the body and to keep the body and soul together.
Anything eaten more is an injustice to the food and to the millions of people who starve and suffer from malnutrition.
