Food: Anti-Hunger, Anti-Boredom or Anti-Frustration?
Of course, we all know that the essential purpose of food is to address hunger but how come I now hear people say, "I am bored" and then pick up a snack?
For some of us, a bottle of chin-chin accompanying us through a journey will ensure we are not bored through the trip...or rather, is it that boredom induces hunger, which in turn leads to our desire for food? Why must something always be in our mouths to keep us company?
Have you ever been frustrated about something- probably work, family, an examination etc. and just to avoid brooding about it, the only thing you want to do is to eat...so, you give yourself the liberty of eating anything and everything, just in a bid to get your happiness back. Lol...does this ever work?
So, lemme ask you this one question; What is food to you? Anti-hunger, anti-boredom or anti-frustration?
