Activity 1.3
Ahh, to eat.

Everyone must eat to live. As you can’t survive on nothing, you can’t get through life without learning at least something. Learning is consuming knowledge; the very act learning is allowing the knowledge to nourish the mind just as food nourishes the body. If learning is eating for the mind, then one must allow for the proper dietary habits to be formed in order to pursue maximum efficiency. So, in order to learn how to become healthy and well-rounded, one first must find a proper dietitian: someone who has the ability to discern the individual needs of each of her clients, while providing the means to their optimum diet. By following the template set in place by the dietitian (teacher), her clients (students) have the tools to discern exactly which foods (disciplines of learning), by assessing their newly attained knowledge of each food’s qualities, are most beneficial to their unique situation. Now, there is always the possibility of poor nutrition: if one gorges on solely junk food, (i.e pop culture knowledge, etc), then there exists the probability of an unbalanced diet and therefore, unhealthy lifestyle. Likewise, if a person only consumes the meager amounts of all the healthiest food, then they may become underweight and thus, unhealthy. One most eat all of the necessary foods, those rich in nutrients and antioxidants as well as those with ample supplies of fats and sugars, in the proper proportions in order to ensure that they are reaching their highest potential.
