Why This Biscuit Is Not Bad.

Ever wondered about the morality of a biscuit or your favourite chocolate-?

I am not a dietitian so I won’t give you the nutritional value of a biscuit -but I can tell you it doesn’t hold any morality it is neither good nor- bad, in fact for someone in a diabetic crisis -(gosh this takes me back to my early years as a nurse working on a medical ward…more on that in another blog) the super-hero of a biscuit bar is so helpful it could even save the life of the person in that diabetic crisis.

The humble biscuit is not good or- bad. We have a tendency as humans to project our morality on to food, you may have noticed this more if you struggle with you relationship with food. Food becomes your moral compass and tells you if you are being good or bad..If you eat pringles or pizza you have been bad but if you eat a salad you are good..I am realising more of the absurdity of this as I write this blog.

Just imagine for a moment the 3 Amigos a pringle -a biscuit and- a pizza are in a court of law sentencing you because wholeheartedly enjoyed the crunch of the biscuit , the saltiness of the pringle and the utter delight of the pizza-how wildly, unreasonable, illogical and inappropriate but these are your daily struggles with food.

The good news is ..you don’t have to live this way, true freedom is possible , no shame or guilt around foods you love to eat.
