Infuse Your Food With LOVE

Much is made of the caloric and nutritional energy we get from food, but not enough about the spiritual. In these days, when irony and attitude rule and we focus more on the politics of what we eat rather than its pleasures, it takes a certain boldness to give voice to our powerful relationship with food.
"Your energy goes into the food you prepare," says Veggie Queen Jill Nussinow. "I think that's huge." Nussinow believes the physical act of preparing food, the chopping, the stirring, "is where you get to put the love in. When you eat it, you get it back. You're giving something, you're getting something. It's complete. How amazing is that?"
The New York Times food columnist and Cook This Now author Melissa Clark believes that love should be shared. "We need to cook for each other," she says. "It will not solve all the problems but it will help us get in the right place. We are better people when we eat well. I really, really believe that."  Amen to that!
