Have you ever grabbed a package of potato chips or cookies and plopped down in front of the television only to find that a few minutes later, the package is empty, and you don’t even remember eating most of it or, even worse, that you still feel unsatisfied? This is caused by a severe deficiency in what I term the “other” vitamin A — not the kind
found in carrots, but the one called attention. Although it’s not commonly seen as a necessary nutrient, it should be! Without paying attention during meals, our health suffers.
When people are asked what they enjoy in life, eating will always be somewhere near the top of the list. Talk to the right person, and even a fast-food cheeseburger is a little slice of heaven! The question then is, if we love our food so much, why do we give it so little attention? If we were on a date with someone we loved deeply, we would never ignore
them for the television or read a book in their presence, completely avoiding eye contact. Why do we hurry through meals doing anything but looking at and loving the food in front of us?
