to do their job—so you eat more than you
should because your brain doesn’t yet know
you should stop.
Now, if you’re reading all this while
shaking your head and saying, “In your
dreams, Hartwigs,” we get it. Lest you think
we’re envisioning some fairy tale where we
all have hours upon hours every day to eat,
drink, and be merry with our friends and loved
ones, rest assured, we are firmly in the grip of
reality. We’re just asking you to make some
effort here, keeping in mind our ultimate end
goal: helping you change your dietary habits,
and permanently instilling a new, healthy,
lifelong relationship with food and eating.
Your behaviors around mealtime will play a
part in that change. So, please, try to meet us
halfway.
And if you still feel as if this is all hippie-
foodie-kumbaya mumbo jumbo, don’t worry
—we suppose you can still eat Good Food
while driving and listening to your voicemail.
