Of Viral Infections and Food

I got a viral infection last night - left me shivering, feverish and basically weak as all heck. The only thing I could stomach before the medicine was some oats and a bit of chai.

The interesting thing was though that I had no desire for food whatsoever in my state of sickness.

I just wanted to get better. And when I’m feeling good, all I can think of is food. So, this little practical revelation just reminds me that food is simply there for nutrition. The delicious craving is a strong intense desire from the mind. And it’s pretty much useless.

But then again most of you knew this already, right?
