Hello, hungry, how is this incredibly un-jolly month treating you?
Some of us are digitally detoxing, avoiding screens like King Charles avoids hand pics.

Theres always the annual impetus to get bigger or smaller.
Despite what youve heard, nothing tastes as good as following your desire feels.
What if your body needs a perfect pattyplant based, if necessary?
(I dont have a problem with Veganuary.)
What if your body wasnt built for ketosis, calling instead for a lightly grilled brioche bun?
What is the bleak midwinter without a little sauce, a little sauteed onion, a little supersizing?
What is life without that extra shake of salt, a crisp rasher of bacon, a sneaky egg?
Who among us can honestly resist the allure of the January burger?
Were conditionedespecially at this time of yearto self-inspect and self-improve to make it self-actualize.
Were often paying disproportionate penance for overindulging, for too many holiday treats, for not enough holiday health.
Its exhausting and boring and time-consuming.
I dont know what your resolutions were, but maybe we could all lighten up.
Just loosen the reins on the galloping horse of restriction?
Consider mainlining something that doesnt feature on the diet plan.
