Both food and friendship have always been controversial points in life. We love both of them, yet they both seem to hurt us one way or the other. Whether it's people that hurt us by leaving or food that hurts us by staying behind in our summer bodies; they both make us cry one way or the other. However, there are highly important distinctions between the both of them that, in the end, make us choose food over people.
1. Food will always be there for you, seriously.
Even though your friends say they will "always" be there for you, they physically can't. Meanwhile, your Ben&Jerry's pint will always be in your freezer whenever you need a good cry at two in the morning and your friends are asleep, or just won't answer the phone.
2. It's easier to make food than to make friends.
If you're socially awkward, like I am, it's very hard to make friends and meet new people. However, it's way easier to meet bacon. Food won't make awkward eye contact with you or try to make small talk, and it's just a drive to the supermarket away. Unlike with people, you don't even have to try to make a good first impression, pizza won't judge you on anything. And it doesn't matter if you don't know how to cook because "Easy Mac" has your back.
3. Food can bring people together.
So, you know when you introduce someone new to a friend of yours, and then they end up being closer to your friend than you ever were? Food won't do that to you. People brought together by food can be loved equally, nothing could tear them apart. Except for having to share their food, of course.
4. Food won't hurt your feelings.
Even though it can hurt your diet and make you fat, your emotional state will always remain intact. Yay for feelings.5. Food won't steal from you.
From covers to boyfriends, food will never take anything from you.
6. Food won't walk away from you.
Even though food always sadly comes to an end, you can just get some more. Out of Ice Cream? Buy some more. Food can temporarily leave you, but in the end, it will always come back to you.7. Because Pizza.
Do I really have to explain myself on this one?
8. It will make you happy without even trying.
Your boyfriend didn't buy you red roses? Let pizza dry your tears. Did he forget your anniversary? Chocolate will literally boost your mood. Remembered you don't actually have a boyfriend? Don't worry ,Häagen-Dazs are here for you.
9. Ice Cream would never judge you.
Food will make you feel beautiful even when it's Friday night and you're scarfing down a whole bag of chips by yourself while watching Netflix on your sweats and a messy bun, or if you're a guy, while playing black ops on your star wars boxers. Also, pizza could never judge you for eating that fourth slice.
10. Food doesn't feel, unless you want it to.
Even though you can feel like food loves you, it could never get angry at you. Ben and Jerry's could never get jealous of you eating Häagen-Dazs, so they'll never argue with you. Food could never talk about you behind your back, but I can't promise it will never make you feel guilty.
