I have just finished watching a TV programme on eating delicious food in Australia.Although I have never been to this country ,I will still attrcted by the food which the programme has introduced to me.I think that there are many different ways to enjoy life,but "eating",I would say that it is the best way.Why ? Not just because I love to eat,but also eating can taste different kinds of good food.It can sometimes deal with our stress from work or anything unhappy(to certain extend at least).Well,what do you think?Share with us?

I could say that eating is not the only way to enjoy our life. Maybe its one of my way to enjoy life. I have lots of things that makes my life more colorful and enjoyable. Its really enjoying to see yummy and delicious foods and I would really eager to taste them and have them. Just to satisfy my eagerness and craving.

I do not think so. I think that eating a lot can create many health problems and it is, definitely, not a way to deal with daily stress. at the end, you feel even more stressed out as, bisides all of your problems, you will gain some extra weight, too. so, try to not make your problems even bigger than they already are. try to get some other habits while watching tv. Maybe buying a steady bicycle(I do not know the name-it is that bicycle that allows you to have your exercises inside) and exercise. it would be better for you. of course, I love to eat.who doesn't? I love to enjoy food, to eat tasty, great food. but this is not up to the quantity. it is all about quality of my food. if I really like some food, I just eat a small piece and that's it. enough for now...

Well,everyone is telling me the same thing.Health is more important than eating.I think mank people got me wrong.Of course I know eating healthy is important and I do pay attention to my eating habit in nowaday.I am talking about a way to enjoy life .To me it is the best way.But it doesn't mean that I will eat and out of control.I mean it is the best way for me .For others maybe someting else.But I think nobody can deny that we all have to eat to survive and delicious food will definiately make our life for of great taste.I know there are some people who got hurt from food because of eating too much or use it as the only way to deal with their stress.For sue nobody will encourage action and habit like that.It is always good to maintain a healty diet.But enjoy something nice such as buffet(once awhile),it is acceptable.I don't think you wil eat buffet everyday,but once ahwile for celebration or soem special gathering with friends....why not?But I haven't had my buffet for a few months already,I hope I can have one,sometimes next month.

o, My God! If you think that I wanted to upset you, I am so sorry. I know that these days, it is a hard thing to find a real pleasure in something. as long as you are ok with it, and will not deteriorate your health...what can I say? enjoy it!

I think eating isa necessary thing. People who use food for entertainment or pleasure are in for a problem. Weight problem that is.

Eating healthy foods can be one of the greatest ways to enjoy life as they give you the nutrients and energy to enjoy all of the other aspects of your life. I am in Australia and I am not familiar with the program that you are talking about, but we do not have very nutrient rich foods here. My wife was in Thailand a month ago and said that she felt so much more satisfied and energised by the foods there than she gets here. By foods, I mean real food. Fresh organic fruit and vegetables, not the processed stuff that most people try to pass off as food. So what foods were they talking about in the program?

I love eating but its not the best way to enjoy. Its a necessity to live life and we should enjoy whatever we eat or we should say that eat food that you can enjoy.

Actually I love to eat. I enjoy my life when eating my favorite fruits, vegetables and meat. In eating, I also release my stress. Eating is like an adventure. Sometimes we eat sweet foods. Sometimes we eat sour food of fruits. My favorite sour fruits are mangoes. Sometimes we eat chili foods. I like eating very much.

Eating is one way we can get enjoyment in life, true, but caution is always wise because a lot of foods out there today are not very good for our health. There are many ways to enjoy life, many things we can do that are enjoyable. It depends entirely on the individual as to what they may be. Personally, I get more enjoyment out of gardening than anything else. I love growing my own food. I love harvesting food I've grown and eating it right away. I know that these fruits, nuts, vegetables and berries are 100% chemical-free and very healthy. Knowing I'm eating HEALTHY food helps me to enjoy life. I also love fishing. I live on a lake and can go fishing anytime I want (unless the lake is frozen over in the winter). I find peace and tranquility when I'm fishing. I get great enjoyment out of that. I also get a lot of enjoyment out of meeting people, getting to know them and learning from them. So, enjoying life really is up to the individual. I really don't eat much anyway. I do make sure that what I eat is nutritious and tasty. I'll pass on foods like caviar, escargot or anything that is stinky.

I love food and there is nothing worse than badly prepared of badly cooked food. For me cooking and eating is a daily event in our house and you cannot beat the very best and the freshest ingredients. Trying new textures, new tastes and flavours is just great and I have passed these feelings about food onto my children because they will eat and try all kinds of things that I cannot even get an adult to try.

It is such a dilemma for me! I love eating a variety of foods, but then I put weight on and feel sad about the size of my body. But then if I diet and lose weight, my body looks better, but I get bored of eating healthy foods all the time. So I don't know what the solution is???

Nope, their are many important activities more valuable than eating and for me it is best done when I feel hungry or just as mood changer such as when I feel lonely i eat sweet food or anything laden with sugar to recharge my lost energy so i could feel active again. eating is not my main priority as i could do it like fasting or abstinence need to discipline myself than keep myself focus on eating could lead to gluttony. Also do not like to look fat since it could lead me to become lazy since I could not move fast ahead of the other people and i could be prone to have a lot of diseases which I do not like to obtain. I also eating adventures like tasting exotic dishes not typical in my home country but not to over indulge on it. Eating comes handy to me but I would not makes eating as a total replacement as my company during bad days since it would lead you to become fat when you focus on it. For me the best way to enjoy life is to be with the company of my loved ones then have to spend quality time with them at the same time taking a vacation then eating too is a part of it. Also doing charitable work when you give then expect nothing and you felt happy that is genuine happiness learning that other people becomes happy because you help them or learning that other feel happy when you are able to extend a hand to make other people life comfortable even you do it rarely still a good deed which could be treasure that able to help truly without expecting other to repay you.

For me, eating is one way for a person to enjoy life. It is just the same as exploring the world by traveling. Food is something you can explore by tasting all the different flavors that the world has. I for one may not be able to travel the world yet but I know that going to different kinds of restaurants and trying out their food brings me closer to a certain country.

Right now eating is my best way for enjoying life. I just work and eat, eat and work, eat while I work, work while I eat. When I eat, I like to enjoy every morsel on my tongue. I agree with you, it can help to relieve stress.

Well...there's a joy in eating, but i don't think eating is the best way to enjoy life. For me, i enjoy life by maintaining good relationship with other people, hang out with my friend, doing some volunteer work, and playing sport.

Mmm, I like eating when do other things, like reading or playing computers. I found it wonderful, though i know maybe it's unheathy. But I don't think eating is the BEST way to enjoy life, I will never cost too much time and money only for having something to eat.

Hmmm,,Eating is something I enjoy in life that`s for sure, but no I don`t think it`s THE way of life (Not for me). I think everybody has his own way to enjoy and get the maximum fun out of his/her life, I`m a teenager, I do a lot`s of sports and suchs things, you can call it a hobby and when I`m doing one of my hobbies I`m happy, and I that`s for me the moment that I enjoy life.
