The act of eating is a service.

[Tango]

The act of eating is a service. Is eating a selfish act (STS) or a communal act (STO) ? I choose communion.

PS: I just had to get this out of my system. You can nuke this thread now if you want. I promise I will understand if it's deleted and won't bring this up ever again.

If one is 51% STO, for example, then what accounts for the other 49% of that person orientation? Perhaps it includes the innate need to survive.

If so, then I think the act of eating is either healthy/wholesome or full of disease STS , depending on the nature of one's relationship with their food at any given time.

I am often aware of the sacred nature of the binding relationship that I have with food .... and do consider this to be a communion of sorts but I do not see this at all to be STO.

Rather I see it as a healthy STS ... other times I am so hungry, pissed off, frustrated, tired, fearful, hurried,... I eat because I'm hungry, it's there, it's quick, it's handy, it's inciting me .... and can definitely see this as STS ... but a harmful service that brings me disease.

The quality of food, GMO's, its environmental relationships, my relationship and such are most important to me but another issue perhaps.
