I loved this post, man.
Food as medicine, food as sacrament. Such a beautiful and humble notion.
When I was working as a TCM practitioner, my main focus was working with clients to sort out their diets before they considered 'medicine'. The Taoist perspective I was taught considered food to be of utmost importance to health and longevity (which is linked to their notions of 'enlightenment').
Following - love your writing style, and your content.
