Food is celebratory!When I ran my first marathon, my parents took me out to eat
afterward. When I graduated from college, we celebrated at
a fun German restaurant filled with traditional German food
and accordion music.
We often celebrate major life events with food. Weddings,
funerals, and other rites of passage all include food. This
isn’t a bad thing; food helps bring us together to celebrate
someone’s life, a couple’s commitment to each other, or
someone’s hard work and achievements. The trick is to
learn to celebrate with foods that your body will celebrate,
too!
