I personally started out with what I would describe as very low FQ. Perhaps you might agree with me that modern societies like North America have on average a low food intelligence, based upon their diet and eating habits. I personally grew up in this way and culture, eating the standard north american diet enjoying lots of fast food and package food with little to-no correlation to eating and the needs of my body. It wasn’t until in my late teens, when as a result of becoming a vegetarian, and my health went down-hill did I begin to think about and question what I was eating.

Its been a journey to grow and develop this wisdom, sifting through all the food and nutrition information out there and ultimately connecting to the food itself as well as my own body. Today I’m no genius – haha! but I’ve observed that when applying consciousness to eating one can go along way to feeling more wise, healthier and mature in these ways.

I hope this helps you in the journey to recreate your relationship to food.
