Love what you eat

I was just reflecting on the fact that the first temptation for man and act of disobedience was because of food. The desire we all have for food is so overwhelming it is definitely a reason why we fast during Ramadan or whenever lusts overcome us. If we are hungry all other desires seem less important. Most of our lives revolve around food and yet we never give thought about what we put in our bodies how a simple diet could make us healthier, all we can think about how we want more ingredients, different types of food it reminds me of ayah in the Quran And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allah [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing.(Quran 2.61)
