Every time you break your fast, you can have your fruit and eat it too!

"Doing it for the dopamine."

Modern life seems designed to constantly do it for the dopamine. And not just from food. From sex (especially porn, masturbation), entertainment, social media. We are enslaved by that constant pursuit of the next dopamine hit. Clearly makes us easier to control.

But specifically in the case of food, fasting (which is far less profitable) really is the antithesis of the snacking, dopamine hit pursuit mindless form of eating. Even the "3 Meals a Day" structure seems contrived by Big Agro. Moden Man eats far too often, and as.a.result gets fat, sick, lethargic, depressed and disconnected from higher, more spiritual modes of being.

Fasting spiritualizes our food, makes it taste better because we're truly hungry, and makes us more aware of what we're eating, when we're eating and how we're eating.
