Make a meal of it
Consequently, it is well worth putting as much effort as possible into sourcing good, fresh, naturally produced food in season as our much-loved GP, the late Dr Derry McCarthy, was fond of saying: "If you don't put the petrol in the tank, the car won't go." Food is after all the fuel to nourish our bodies.
Nowadays, many of us spend our time racing from one thing to the next, always in a mad hurry in many ways, it's just a habit, easy to acquire but so difficult to kick. When life takes on this frenetic quality, cooking or even stopping to eat meals properly is one of the first things to be sidelined. It's easy to get into the mindset that there are more important things to do than stopping to cook or even to eat a meal properly.
