I don’t necessarily agree with “food is not a reward, food is not entertainment”. It can be a wonderful and enriching experience to dive into food culture around the world!
Sure, French cuisine is loaded with butter and salt, just make less. Vietnamese cuisine is lean and packed with nutrients. Mexican food can be protein rich and healthy if you take your time to adapt the ingredients to your needs.

Never skimp on food, take it in high regard, it’s one of the few things that unites all humans equally :)
I don’t understand the idea of “rewarding” yourself with crappy food after you exercise to burn calories.
I suggest adopting the mantra “food is not reward, food is not entertainment”.
Always a good habit to remove those nice little things from your life. Our lot is to suffer!

Are you one of those “food is medicine” people
