Life Balance and "A Rainbow on My Plate"

I found this fascinating quote today:

So it seems that for all animals except humans, we know that a one day fast creates good health. Yet we humans do not often apply that knowledge to ourselves. We eat and eat without thought for the consequences of our actions. We upsize, in case we don’t have enough food to fill us up. We seem to be trying to avoid ever feeling empty…. (you now what I mean) This is not the answer.. emptiness is not going to be filled with food, and a hamburger with fries and a coke will not love you back…Balancenoosa’s Weblog, Jul 2008
