Is it just me? Seems like many make of us make food choices a significant part of their identity. Nothing wrong with that--but as one who is "polygluttonous" it seems that I'm out of step.
"Obsession" is in the eye (or ear?) of the beholder. Conversations with friends have to be about something and food is naturally a big part of life as we have to eat 3 times a day. What would you like the conversation to be about? Well, if you would just wait a while, I'm sure the conversation would change to something else.
