Some foods get you going on a downward spiral.
For example, you eat a handful chips before 9am and you're all "Heck, I'm eating the whole can." The downward spiral continues. Your hygiene starts to become questionable--so does your grammar (gasp!). It's the beginning of a downward spiral that affects your entire day. You shamelessly create a WHAM! Pandora station, start stalking your 9th grade boyfriend via the USPS (because he can't FB from jail), and prowl Craigslist for old 80's concert tees from rock concerts that your mom wouldn't let you go to.
Other foods have the power to lift you up.
You have a spinach salad for lunch and all of a sudden you can see more clearly without your glasses, you have uncommonly virtuous thoughts, and a choir of angels follows you around for the rest of the day. You have found the strength to lift stranded vehicles off of train tracks, heal sick kittens and communicate with your MIL without tearing out any hair--hers or yours. Wow.
Food has real power. And it's power that comes from you. You give food power. For good or evil.
Choose good. Never evil.
