What’s Life Without Food?

April Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Life”

Good food, good vibe, good life

An empty stomach is simply a devil’s den😉! At least in my case!!

I literally go berserk if I am starving like an elephant in a state of frenzy😁 [O God, I wonder what I would have done if there was no food (errghhhh… food for stomach I mean)!].

The sound of rumbling and emptiness in my stomach sets my mood off further…huh! Only foodies can understand what I’m actually talking about.

They say, ‘dieting’ and ‘fasting’ are two healthy concepts to keep us fit and fine. However, I keep them at bay with due respect (I must be grabbing a whole lot of eyeballs by now!)—yes, you read it right!

Now you can call me glutton😊, I don’t mind at all.

For me, food is my friend, philosopher, guide, my accelerator to my thought process, my guiding force, my Ikigai…aha!!

Good and balanced food gives us the right amount of nutrients to keep ourselves healthy and fit.

So, happy feasting! Happy eating!! Burp…

Everyone is in such a good mood when they’ve eaten well- E.A. Bucchianeri

Excuse me, if I was being a jerk earlier, I was just hungry 😊😉😍😂🙌💐
