Food For Thought

Food Guilt

Food guilt.

A problem that often attaches itself to people for different reasons. Most commonly of course, we associate it with eating things that we wish we hadn’t eaten.

A different type that can come from people who are pursuing healthy choices, is to create that feeling of guilt in others about their choices.

As I was checking out of Publix, they were offering an opportunity to support local families who need assistance in purchasing food. Of course my first thought, “I don‘t eat that food, I wouldn’t advise anybody eat that food, this phone is no good for your body!”

My next thought was, “you are not producing organic food and offering it up to the poor, you are not farming grass fed beef and giving it away… You are not making healthy food choices available to the world for free, and until you do, Eric, you need to be charitable in your heart.”

So I gave them some money, and they gave me this bag.
