food should taste good, & look nice. If it’s good for you, that’s certainly a plus. I like good food as much as the next person, but does it seem like food has become an obsession in our community lately? Store A has the best cholent, Store B has the best sushi, OH? you ate at Restaurant C? Was it as good as Restaurant D? I hear the food is really something else at Restaurant E! And the kiddush in shul F! Not to be missed, especially since they switched to Caterer G! and on and on.
What is that all about? Food as recreation?
