Intuitive Eating Advice from Remy

Harry has finally (FINALLY!) overcome his obsession with the movie Cars. Words cannot express how incredibly thankful I am for that. I had been at the *if I have to listen to that movie one more time!!!!* point for a couple months. Luckily, his new fave is something I can get behind. He *loves* the movie Ratatouille. And, wonder of all wonders, so do I. The story line is fun, the music is perfect, and the setting is my favorite place on earth. I’ve walked those streets, I recognize the bridges, I know the restaurant Gusteau’s is modeled after. Not only that, but Remy dishes out not only delectable looking dishes (every time we watch that movie Liam begs me to make Remy’s Ratatouille), but some great intuitive eating advice. A few that come to mind:

Don’t just hork it down!!

and

If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the good stuff.

Ego, of course, delivers the best intuitive eating advice I’ve ever heard:

I don’t like food, I love it. If I don’t love it, I don’t swallow.

And naturally, Gusteau himself has some wisdom to impart:

Good food is like music you can taste, color you can smell. There is excellence all around you. You need only to be aware and to stop and savor it.

There you have it. Eat good food, not garbage. If it’s not worthy of your taste buds, of your time, don’t swallow. Stop to savor it, taste it. Don’t just hork it down.
