What food becomes once you stop counting calories and start counting consequences.
means That which feeds, strengthens, or sustains a living thing — food for the body, or by extension, anything that feeds the mind or spirit.
from Traces back through Old French 'norrissement' to the Latin verb 'nutrire,' meaning to feed or suckle — the same root that gives us 'nurse' and 'nutrient.' At its core sits the ancient Indo-European idea of a mother feeding a child, so the word has carried a faint tenderness with it for thousands of years, even when it's just describing what's on your dinner plate.
