3. Do you think there is a creative element to eating?

Yes I do. It's based on my view on what creativity is, and what just consuming something is.
If I stuff myself with something while I read, watch tv etc., it certainly isn't creative. On the other hand, if I appreciate the preparation, freshness, and taste, see and feel the textures, smell the aroma... of course it is. Is drinking wine creative? Just like that. I think every mindful activity is creative. For me, creativity doesn't only mean making something for others to see. I create experiences for myself, whether that's enjoying bird song, a concert, getting lost in a book or eating a good meal.
