I was having dinner with a bunch of locals. They inquired as to how I maintain my ketogenic diet and informed me that it is very challenging to do so in New Orleans due to the city's "live to eat" rather than "eat to live" mentality, which I found to be rather intriguing.

Food is more than just fuel, despite repeated advice to the contrary. At barely two and a half years old, my kid showed that food serves more purposes than merely providing nutrition. He would leap into his booster seat, fasten his seatbelt, and begin to sing. It wasn't because he was getting a bowl of ice cream, chicken nuggets, or macaroni and cheese from a box.
