Eat to live, not live to eat!

My father always said to eat to live not live to eat. I never understood this until recently. I watch my older children spend alot of money of ridiculous trendy food and alot of time preparing and making it well a truly pleasurable experience. This is great and exciting and I do this once in a while perhaps 2 or three times a week. I see them do this with every meal. It is expensive with both time and money. They are simply pleasure junkies who live to eat. Now I get what my dad was saying. Eat to live. It is much simpler and easy to eat healthy meals that are not a circus to prepare.
