I used to eat because food tastes so good. I love food, it's one of the best things on this planet. But I changed the way I was thinking. I started asking myself, 'Hey, am I eating because it tastes good? Or because I really need some more? Am I really still hungry?'

My father was very disappointed by war and fighting. And he thought language could help us out of cycles of revenge and animosity.
