Eating is a serious matter. At least that's what I was taught as a child. I was always told "You don't play with your food!" Without questioning this, I obeyed - and stopped playing with food. Too bad. I found it strange why you are allowed to design cakes or other desserts so lovingly and decorate them with smileys etc. My conclusion: you can't play with food, but you can with desserts. Even though you eat it too. Perhaps not all food should be considered food. That would be another explanation. But in the end, I soberly realise for myself: eating can be a joyful affair, especially in a happy community. And that's why I think it's okay to play with food - as long as you treat it respectfully and not carelessly or wastefully. And I think this applies to every area of life, not just food. Therefore: be playful and happy!
I wish you an extraordinary day!
