| 0:00.0 | I know that you're very conscious with, for example, how you eat. |
| 0:09.1 | Is this all part of the same thing because you sort of recognize the interconnected nature |
| 0:15.0 | of everything? Is that, is it a decision on that basis? For example, how conscious you are |
| 0:20.6 | with what you choose to eat? |
| 0:23.9 | Yes, we could like talk very, a lot about this, but the eating is really really important. |
| 0:37.4 | I think it starts even how you eat. |
| 0:40.5 | Like I was also changing the way I eat like I eat like I don't know two years ago or something because before most of the times I was on the phone during eating or watching a serious |
| 0:57.8 | during eating and that's exactly what we were talking about before and it's again it's it's |
| 1:08.1 | really important to to really enjoy the food because at the end we also |
| 1:14.6 | lost connection to the food because like it's uh if you really see close to it um it's such a |
| 1:26.7 | treasure actually to get this food on the table. |
| 1:30.3 | I don't know if it's meat, it's even like, you know, you took like life of another being |
| 1:41.3 | to be on the plate and eat it. And if it's a, I don't know, if it's a weekend dish still, you know, |
| 1:48.5 | it was a plant or a fruit. |
| 1:50.8 | And the way it took from this, from the tree or whatever to your table, |
| 1:57.3 | it was such a long way. |
| 1:58.9 | And then it's just really, I would say, like, disrespectful or really |
| 2:05.7 | harsh. If you're like watching some stupid serious during eating it. So, but this is, I think this |
| 2:15.2 | goes really deep and it's also really difficult with the life nowadays. |
| 2:20.8 | Everything is so fast and I think we get disconnected more and more to the basics of life. |
| 2:29.4 | And I think it's really important to get back to it at least from time to time. |
