What Do You Eat?
Tell me what you eat, and I can tell you who you are,
Tell who are your friends and I can tell you who you are,
Tell me what you read and I can tell you who you are,
First, I must clarify that I am not an oracle or some kind of witch doctor. I am just an ordinary guy. The guy from next door, with an exotic accent.
What we eat largely determines how we look like. Who we hang out with or the kind of friends we make will large reflect our views and perspectives in life. Last but not least, what we read is to a large extent what we associate with.
When I say what you eat determines who you I mean that your type of food will give me an idea whether you are a carnivore, an omnivore or a herbivore. Of course you know carnivores are flesh eaters, omnivores eat both flesh and vegetables while herbivores eat only vegetables. Does that ring a bell?
What we eat is a choice. Just like eating is choice, our sexual inclination is a choice. If you choose to hang out with vultures, the chances are that you may easily behave like a vulture. If you choose to hang out with doves, you may easily behave like them.
In other words if you chose to be singer, dancer or drummer all those too are choices. Some young people choose to wait untill they are married before having sex. Others do not. Some parents choose to advice their kids about sexual relationships while others do not.
All I hope to share here with you is that whatever choice you make, know that it has some consequences and it is worthwhile thinking over your choices. Look before you leap. I do not cherish you leaping before you look as I did when I was younger. He who eats flesh will become a carnivore while he who eats vegetables will more often be a herbivore.
What ever you do, stay healthy.
Sincerely yours,
Gideon
