Thank you for reminding us that when it comes to food a balance between the healthiest foods and foods for pure enjoyment is important to a person's wellbeing, or as you put it, the soul.
I do disagree with your statements that say that there is no or shouldn't be a correlation between body size and health. Science has proven that this correlation does exist and ignoring the facts surrounding correlation leads to poor health and shorter life span. I do think that we often get too obsessed with these facts which leads to obsession with the scale and this is a dangerous slope, so you're not totally off base.
Thank you again. this is such a thought provoking story. Its very well done.
