If I couldn't use food or love to define contentment, I would use reading.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A capacity, and taste, for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others.
'Content' is a word that has never sat well with me. Like 'maturity'. They are two words I've never liked. I think they imply some sort of decay. A settling.
The primary requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite.
We all know we should eat right and we should exercise, but reading is treated as if it's this wonderful adjunct.
Out: Reading is fundamental. In: Feeling is fundamental.
To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting.
Reading should be a pleasure, not a chore.
Writing about food is my default.
Content is king. When you are asking people to read you several times a day, you better have some fine content.
Contentment is, after all, simply refined indolence.
