Food Related - Do you "Live to Eat" or " Eat to Live"
How about "Ride To Eat". Riding motorcycles with a group of other riders. Some were singles and some were couples on these rides. Some of these places were not that far distance but by taken out of the way routes it could be 1 or 2 hrs ridding time just to arrive. Some of these places could be passed by when city people are in the area because of the look or area location. The destination had knowledge we were coming and would get a body count so as to be ready when we arrived. Some of these "hole in the wall" places are still some of my favorites. ................. drill sgt.

Oh, I'm most definitely in the Live to Eat camp.

I live to eat in that I enjoy my food and like the finer things in life, but I don't care if I miss a meal and often work through meal times. I don't often just eat because it's time to eat, I eat because I want a great meal.

Eat to live with a few exceptions, one of them Thanksgiving and the other Christmas.

Need to add an option....

Best friend eats like a bear! Really scarfs it down.
He is a dawn to dusk working farmer now but even in grade school, after cleaning his plate he would ask for and eat everything left on anyone else's plate around the whole table. If you offer him dessert, he will ask if you have any "real" food instead. Once we went to an all you can eat buffet, the manager ask him to leave.

Funny thing is... he has no sense of taste or smell.
He says he eats to keep from getting hungry.

Reminds me of a conversation I had a while back where I said that there are two kinds of people...Those that work to live and those that live to work..

I told him I was the former as I tendered my resignation..

Eat to live.

I never eat just because it's a certain time. Sometimes I go all day without eating if I'm busy. I eat pretty healthy though I will splurge once in a while.

Live to eat. Every meal, I try to enjoy the tastes, textures, etc. Even if its fast food, low brow, high brow food, doesn't matter. I cook 99% of the household meals, food as fuel is not my method.

Both.
Weekdays are "eat to live". I just eat breakfast and supper. That's it. Busy at work and other things.
Weekends are "live to eat" and I have seriously put away all kinds of food on a given weekend. Grill, smoker or eating bar food. Sometimes a few of them. Add in beer and I kinda lose control eating all kinds of things.


I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

I am not ever really concerned about eating. I guess you can say I eat to live.

But I love tasty food. I love cooking it and preparing really great meals.

I am fortunate enough to eat until I’m comfortable, and rarely (a couple times in my life) eat until I’m “stuffed”.

Definitely live to eat. I’m trying to change that though.

Live to eat. Still gradually getting to a healthy weight but I don’t plan on eating like a bird to do it.

Definitely eat to live. I miss meals all the time if I am busy that day. Just yesterday I was working on my side by side and around 2:00 pm realized I hadn't eaten anything since a piece of toast in the AM. Made a tuna fish sandwich and ate it while I finished up my job.

Funny think is, I love to cook and do most all the cooking in our family. I just don't care if I eat it I guess. Shoot, maybe that's why I only way 160 pounds.

Both.

I eat foods that taste delicious to me, but have good nutritional value and aren’t too calorific. I consider refined sugar to be poisonous. I strive for a high fiber diet. I’m the only person that I know of that eats rolled oats dry. They have a delish nut-like flavor that way that I don’t get from porridge.

Food takes away from time better spent on other things. Lately I've been eating once a day. I never snack. In fact, it would be hard to care less about food. I find it boring. Just give me a pill and let me be on my way.

I love to eat, but I don't live to eat. I sometimes get busy doing something and notice it's 5pm and I've eaten nothing all day.

And there are other times when there's lots of good stuff around and I nosh all day.

Live to eat.

I enjoy good food, I enjoy making good food, and I enjoy being around people who enjoy good food. I appreciate the effort that goes into raising the livestock or, the crop along with the restaurant of any stripe that strives to put out good food. Certainly there are times where I view food as fuel, I will indulge in some fast-food here or, there, and I'm not above a gas station fried chicken or, hole in the wall that serves on paper plates.

Eat to live. I like to eat good food but in my job it's eat when you can.
