Food has an elusive draw. There is both a survival element to food and an enjoyment element. We need it for our survival and at the same time, it can be so delicious and seductive. 

The line between survival and comfort eating is so fine because it can be both at the same time. The waters become murky and we can easily fall prey to the sirens of food…  The temptation, the deliciousness, the excitement of food can grab hold of us even if we are not hungry or our bodies are not in need of it. We can easily tell ourselves that it is fine to eat something that may not be healthy for us because we physically need the sustenance. Every day we have to make the decision of what we are eating. But we don’t often ask “why” or step back to see if what we are eating is the best thing for us.
