As I was frantically trying to understand my sex/text reading assignment (Foucault has fried my brain) I began thinking about the correlation between stress and food.... as well as how the hell I'm going to get through this reading. The adjustment to college and even college life in general is full of stressors. I can't begin to tell you how messed up my sleep schedule is (I took a 5 hour nap today). Why do we turn to pigging out when we're stressed? And why is it that girls generally do it more? Which reminds me of my favorite pastime, eating my emotions with a huge tub of ice cream. Here's my opinion on the relationship between food.
FOOD=YUMMY
YUMMY=HAPPY
HAPPY=OPPOSITE OF STRESS
Therefore...
FOOD=OPPOSITE OF STRESS
great post i like your tone and voice in the blog and your analysis of why we pig out so much
ReplyDeleteKeep up the funny posts! I really like your transitive property proof of how food is the opposite of stress. It's so true.
ReplyDeleteNice use of a fake syllogism format to prove that food and stress go together. As you might guess, I like Foucault!!! I tried to find a good reading from him for the class. Oh well, when you get to Bakhtin, that will be punishment enough. :-)
