Eating Bad, But Feeling Good: Mangio male ma son contento

By Viktor Brando

I eat poorly but I'm happy - The nourishment of the soul
We are often told that we need to eat healthy. But what does that really mean? Strict diets, scales, meticulous calorie counting. An almost clinical focus on what could physically harm us, as if our body were just a machine to be repaired. But the body is also made of emotions, memories, and moments of pure joy.
Perhaps eating healthy is not just about deprivation. Perhaps it also means nourishing the mind and the heart. A steaming plate of pasta, a pizza shared with friends, the warmth of a good glass of red wine. These are the moments when food becomes home, tradition, and comfort.
Mens sana in corpore sano - but what about the soul? The soul needs flavors, the scents of old-fashioned cooking, and an authenticity that diets often forget. And if so-called "eating poorly" is what makes us happy, then true nourishment is the kind that makes us feel good inside.
