1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm always asking questions, and the reason why is because

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,440
the fund begins when you start researching for answers such

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,240
as what is our fascination with food? Why is it

4
00:00:09,279 --> 00:00:13,439
such a go to for happiness? Plus are today's wedding

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,559
receptions going through a huge evolution of change. My name

6
00:00:17,679 --> 00:00:20,199
is Errow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,280
stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,440
then activate. I happen to call it the daily Mess,

9
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:29,160
a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah, it's my

10
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:32,039
morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas. We

11
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:34,520
as people tend to throw things to the side because

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,119
we think we're going to deal with it later on.

13
00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:39,119
When a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's

14
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,880
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,399
But by doing the research, the picture becomes clear. This

16
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:50,600
is the daily mess? What is our fascination with food?

17
00:00:50,679 --> 00:00:54,200
And why is it always the go to for assumed happiness? Well,

18
00:00:54,359 --> 00:00:57,640
mental health experts don't hide from the truth on this one.

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,719
Tapping into a source of food to queen up is

20
00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:04,680
based on how our minds and bodies are wired. Food.

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,439
It's our biological reward system. It releases dopamine. The brain

22
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,959
feels good. It's a chemical created is a natural sense

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,439
of reward. We see eating food as being associated with

24
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,799
the feeling of being safe, which is an active inner survival.

25
00:01:21,519 --> 00:01:24,719
A satisfied stomach is said to lower your stress level.

26
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:29,519
Now what does that usually lead to? Emotional eating? Now

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,159
tie that into our connection with cultural and social activities. Food,

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,680
no matter what mood, is seen as a celebration. It's

29
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,079
a family tradition and or a ritual. Now I'm guilty

30
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,319
of this sensory pleasure. It's not that I want to

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,640
eat it all the time. I just want to smell it.

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,799
I want to prepare it. I want to test its textures.

33
00:01:50,239 --> 00:01:53,200
Maybe it's a memory thing. Mom was always very happy

34
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,799
in the kitchen. He coming up next. Wedding receptions not

35
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:01,719
exactly what they use to be. Are they going through

36
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,200
an evolutional change? Hey, thanks for coming back to the

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,879
Daily Mess. My wife and I have been part of

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,719
the nation's wedding scene since nineteen ninety two. We are

39
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:16,439
with brides and grooms before, during, and long after. Those

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,280
four hours of celebrating with family, friends, and wedding crashers

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
are today's gatherings after a wedding ceremony changing well. In

42
00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:28,080
the nineteen nineties, it was very common to play music

43
00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:31,159
for two hundred and fifty to five hundred people, reaching

44
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,599
sometimes to two am. Today, though, wedding receptions have evolved

45
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,439
and it's changing the way couples are welcomed into the

46
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:41,840
first step of their brand new beginning. These days, wedding

47
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:45,840
reception guest lists are much smaller. We had forty three

48
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,439
people in attendance last night and the parties still went

49
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,680
about five five and a half hours. The number one

50
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:55,439
reason is cost. Brides and grooms also want to personalize

51
00:02:55,439 --> 00:03:00,000
the reception they've unlocked from tradition. I'm seeing less cake cutting,

52
00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:04,039
no bouquet and garter. Forget the father daughter dance, and

53
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:08,560
please make it about my mom. Many wedding experts connect

54
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:12,680
this to a lingering COVID lockdown effect. Make it outdoors

55
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,759
and give people as much room to be free and

56
00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:18,719
to breathe. I'm marril, and that's the daily mess.
