“Ayelet Fishbach, a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago, said, "Food really connects people. Food is about bringing something into the body. And to eat the same food suggests that we are both willing to bring the same thing into our bodies. People just feel closer to people who are eating the same food as they do.” PeopleRelationshipsFoodEatingBehaviors Book:The Minimalist Home: A Room-by-Room Guide to a Decluttered, Refocused Life Source: The Minimalist Home: A Room-by-Room Guide to a Decluttered, Refocused Life
“Nevertheless, I'm not sure I can quite express what is so basic, so right, so utterly human about cooking and eating together. As far back as you can go in history, you find human beings gathering around tables for the purpose of eating together. Offering food and water is an instinctive act of courtesy in almost every culture around the world. In the Bible and Jewish-Christian tradition, breaking bread together is perhaps both the humblest and the most meaningful reflection of unity.” CultureChristianityEatingBibleTraditionCookingJudaismDiningBreaking Bread Book:The Minimalist Home: A Room-by-Room Guide to a Decluttered, Refocused Life Source: The Minimalist Home: A Room-by-Room Guide to a Decluttered, Refocused Life
