- FTI: Resentment: Is it good or bad?Link visible for attendees
Sometimes we resent our own actions, other times we resent the actions of others. Is resentment good or bad? I’ll try to make the argument that resentment is not a useful emotion. Rather than resenting, we should learn from any negative experience without allowing it to evoke any form of disappointment in us. I like to say: “the past is only good for two things: Learning and reminiscing.”

- FTI: Exploring Food and Music TogetherLink visible for attendees
Speaker: Jacqueline Cohen-Baity
Do you find yourself searching for a meal to cook and wondering how it can be more enjoyable with entertainment. As we go through our journey, we seek to find food to enjoy and the energy to live our dreams, travel, and experience adventures. An adventure can be engaging in your own home. Imagine that? Picture going on a culinary journey, traveling to various parts of the world to experience aromas and a variety of flavors in addition to exploring company cultures, music, theatre, beaches, historical monuments, and wonderful dinners. At least one of the connections remains after you visit places and that connection is music and how it relates to food yet evolves. Let’s go on a culinary and music expedition to examine closely how the process of cooking correlates to food. Are you ready?

- FTI: How can we be healthier, anywhere we live?Link visible for attendees
# FTI: ⅓ of americans are overweight, ⅓ are obese. How can we be healthier, anywhere we live?
Most americans are overweight. ⅓ are actually obese. How can we enjoy our food, but also live healthier? I would say part of it is about being in a good mental state, the other is about remembering that the body only recognizes its full 30 mins after its full. This means when we eat, we should stop eating after a small quantity of food and wait 30 minutes. If we’re full, wait till the next meal. If not eat a bit more.
