Cooking and Eating

Food trends change, our view changes and food begins to be a change in the fashion world, one of the sectors where it is put into question the symbolic value of the food.

In the video that we present below, you can see a small glimmer of change in the world of fashion in the catwalk Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and, in particular, the parade of Bimba Bosé.

Everywhere you look, the fashion trends always reflect the thinness of the person as the goal to be achieved, no matter who suffers for it or stop eating or health is harmed, thinness is a symbol of beauty .

If we focus on ourselves, we must be clear that this is far from the reality of everyday life. It is true that many children and adults obese by lack of exercise, but on the opposite side we find people suffering from anorexia or bulimia to achieve these ideals of beauty. We need balance.

We can not go from one extreme to another, or undergo a food addiction by trying to fill emotional voids or hide other problems like not eating for what someone tells us to be outside.

I know I get a little shaken the common theme is SaborGourmet.com we share recipes, but I think there are times when we must turn off the stove and think, not only on the type of food we eat but how we prepare .

From my point of view, we should understand the food and gastronomy as a pleasure, a privilege that can be enjoyed with all the senses, from the view of the nose and palate.

The food should be our cross nor by excess or by default, find a healthy balance should be the real goal to enjoy life and I hope that we're sharing recipes or send ye us, reach that dream.
