I think what's so valuable about mindful eating is that it teaches us to be fully present in the moment. Eating slowly to savor every bite and to fully appreciate each flavor. Food demonstrates the impermanence of things, so you have to fully appreciate it in the moment. It teaches us the lesson of letting go.

We only have what's in front of us while it's there and then it's gone...no one ever knows how long anything will be here...so we have to let go and we have to be completely present. Savor your time with what's in front of you and learn to recognize things for what they are in the moment because that's all you have.
