Speaker 1: I'm always asking questions, and the reason why is because
the fund begins when you start researching for answers such
as what is our fascination with food? Why is it
such a go to for happiness? Plus are today's wedding
receptions going through a huge evolution of change. My name
is Errow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I
stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
then activate. I happen to call it the daily Mess,
a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah, it's my
morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas. We
as people tend to throw things to the side because
we think we're going to deal with it later on.
When a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
But by doing the research, the picture becomes clear. This
is the daily mess? What is our fascination with food?
And why is it always the go to for assumed happiness? Well,
mental health experts don't hide from the truth on this one.
Tapping into a source of food to queen up is
based on how our minds and bodies are wired. Food.
It's our biological reward system. It releases dopamine. The brain
feels good. It's a chemical created is a natural sense
of reward. We see eating food as being associated with
the feeling of being safe, which is an active inner survival.
A satisfied stomach is said to lower your stress level.
Now what does that usually lead to? Emotional eating? Now
tie that into our connection with cultural and social activities. Food,
no matter what mood, is seen as a celebration. It's
a family tradition and or a ritual. Now I'm guilty
of this sensory pleasure. It's not that I want to
eat it all the time. I just want to smell it.
I want to prepare it. I want to test its textures.
Maybe it's a memory thing. Mom was always very happy
in the kitchen. He coming up next. Wedding receptions not
exactly what they use to be. Are they going through
an evolutional change? Hey, thanks for coming back to the
Daily Mess. My wife and I have been part of
the nation's wedding scene since nineteen ninety two. We are
with brides and grooms before, during, and long after. Those
four hours of celebrating with family, friends, and wedding crashers
are today's gatherings after a wedding ceremony changing well. In
the nineteen nineties, it was very common to play music
for two hundred and fifty to five hundred people, reaching
sometimes to two am. Today, though, wedding receptions have evolved
and it's changing the way couples are welcomed into the
first step of their brand new beginning. These days, wedding
reception guest lists are much smaller. We had forty three
people in attendance last night and the parties still went
about five five and a half hours. The number one
reason is cost. Brides and grooms also want to personalize
the reception they've unlocked from tradition. I'm seeing less cake cutting,
no bouquet and garter. Forget the father daughter dance, and
please make it about my mom. Many wedding experts connect
this to a lingering COVID lockdown effect. Make it outdoors
and give people as much room to be free and
to breathe. I'm marril, and that's the daily mess.
