Guilt is not an ingredient.

I’ve never seen a recipe listing guilt as an ingredient. But I have seen recipes, menu items, and packaged food claiming the descriptor “guilt free.”

Guilt is something we have assigned to certain food items and ingredients. We label desserts as guilty pleasures and allow our minds to be weighed down by guilt if we consume foods that aren’t “guilt free.”

But what if we reject the notion that food contains guilt? What if we chose to reclaim the truth that all food is guilt free? What if we chose to celebrate the joy and energy food brings us?

We would be choosing to free our minds from food fear and enjoy a life full of flavor.
And that is a beautiful way to live.
