I love the idea of reusing the glass jars to uniformly organize your dressings, sauces, etc... so satisfying to watch you organize and the before and after process. Thank you always

Your matter of fact honesty is one of the many reasons I tune in to your channel. Loved the video this week. Something about watching a person use a P-Touch and get organized is so satisfying. In regards to food, when I was single I shopped for two weeks at a time and ate at my leisure. I am a vegetarian and my husband is not, so most times there are two separate meals on the table for dinner. This was one of the hardest things to compromise when I married. I admit some days I don't want to deal with meal prep or grocery shop (even on line).

We’re all different which is what makes us interesting. I love cleaning and organizing, hate cooking. As a gluten free health food vegan I keep my fridge full of prepped fruit, vegees, beans, etc. I assemble them in a bowl, top with tahini, spices, etc and that’s my meal. Looove my Vitamix, can make a mean smoothie bowl.

My family are big foodies and they never could understand why I simply eat to live. This relationship I have with food is almost a taboo to them as if it is an eating disorder. For me, its buying the same set of clothes because having a "uniform" means spending lesser time fussing on what to wear everyday. Same goes for food. I will eat what is available and most comforting or safest so I don't have to spend time fussing over what to eat. Its not a disorder or a "trend". Its just a lifestyle choice.

I totally get the food disinterest -- I get migraines with so much of what I eat. It's hard when you're in a hedonistic culture and food is worshiped, to have a less enthusiastic take on food. The music was pretty sad -- could be our theme song in the US. Always love your videos Benita -- you provide an interesting perspective, which I love.

leslie macdonald i used to suffer from incapacitating migraines that would last a week and sometimes longer. I’ve eliminated many, many foods from my diet and that’s really helped me, I’m happy to eat only a small variety of foods and feel good. But you are so right about the food worship, many people think I’m just being fussy and some are downright offended because I don’t want to try their cake or whatever. If I had a cent for every time someone said “oh come on, have some (insert food item) surely just one won’t hurt you” I would be a rich woman ☺️

I feel the same way about food Benita; my husband lives to eat, I eat to live. Fortunately I don’t have any dietary complications other than high cholesterol - trying to maintain a low fat diet has all but taken the love out of eating for me. I eat vegetarian and have tried vegan for a time but can’t sustain it. Expensive restaurant meals are lost on me too. I like good quality, whole food but get no particular joy or buzz from preparing and cooking a meal. My husband is the opposite, loves to cook and is a good cook but if he weren’t here I’d probably live on steel cut oats! Love your unapologetic honesty. Keep up the great work. Be well.

I have tips to get rid labels. For example, on glass jar, so it won’t scratched. 1. Use hairdryer to heat the label. Don’t get too close or the label paper might burn. 2. It can be easily pealed if it heated enough. 3. If you still have residue traces, rub it with cajuput oil. I have easy access ro cajuput oil, sorry I don’t have alternative option. 4. Then you can wash the jar. I use this trick for book covers or dust jacket with price label.

I love to eat, I really enjoy food in that way, but cooking is the bane of my life and I really couldn’t care less what other’s eat. I think a lot of the obsession as it manifests on the Internet is aspirational - people, probably unconsciously, want to emulate everything ‘insert influencer’s name here’ does in the hope that they might achieve what they see as a ‘perfect life’. I think many humans have always done this in some way or another- imitation is how we learn from our parents initially, we are taught to obey certain rules and customs etc. I think it’s just a continuation of that. Okay I’ll stop waffling now! I love your nice calm looking organised fridge and I hope the throat is better soon.

You probably have a much healthier relationship to food than a lot of people, myself included, as you see it as a necessity of life. Like a lot of people I know, I often think about food too much, both in terms of health and consequences on my looks, which is terrible thinking, and in terms of daily maintenance; what are we going to buy? What are we going to cook? And most of the time, because I can't be bothered cooking, cleaning up and tidying up afterwards, I end up not eating well anyway, which is ironic given the amount of thought I put towards it! I love your fridge organisation. My partner refuses me to organise it, cause he likes the chaos! Good thing he's the one who does most of the cooking...

Hi Benita ..I love your organising videos ..so calming to my soul! I am also fascinated by your completely ambivalent attitude towards food ....I wish with all my heart that I was the same because my passion for food is directly related to the size of my hips and butt 🙄. I adore food ..eating it , shopping for it and whenever I am on holiday I love trying new flavours and interesting spices . I couldn’t imagine just seeing food as something you have to deal with ...it must make your life so simple !

I wish our recycling in the UK was as good as in Sweden. We recycle a lot now, such as plastic containers and bottles, cans, glass, paper, even food waste. And garden waste is collected for composting and reuse in parks etc. But it is almost impossible to recycle all the soft plastic packaging that is used to wrap many supermarket products (fresh food or household items), clothing ordered online, and many other things. Most of this still goes into our general waste and landfill. 😔

Love your personal attitude to food Benita. I also never cook. Mostly eat salad, cheese loads of fruit and some vegetables but not all. Occasionally, I cook a piece of Salmon, which I enjoy. But do not eat cooked meat. But do like lean ham, Swiss air dried cold meats (not anything fatty though.) Yet I am very healthy. Take vitamin B12 daily and have blood tests regularly. But all is in order. So let it be. Also dislike restaurant food. Often wonder how clean the kitchens are - even here in Switzerland. Anyway Swiss ones are just too pricey. Enjoyed this video. Thanks.

I'm so glad to see a KZbinr who is not a foodie! lol. I appreciate food and it's life-giving nourishment BUT it's a love-hate relationship cooking it. Especially since both our boys have different appetite from us adults. I could go on but those clear bottles & labelling are my kind of 'food porn'.

I switch containers with my H&B supplies, i.e. shampoo, conditioner, scrub, body wash, etc. It just looks cleaner that way. Glass containers in the tub isn't the safest though. I use clean, dry single serve plastic milk bottles for pourables and plastic grocery tubs (guacamole, fresh sliced fruit, etc.) for thicker products like lotion/cream. When I started this new habit, I forgot about labeling and used what I had on hand which was some adhesive wallpaper scraps cut to label size and a black Sharpie.

How I wish that I was not interested in food! When I was a child I was skinny and used to have to be dragged into the home for meals. I too was just not interested in food and mealtimes as I thought it interfered with the fun parts of my day. Now I adore food and during these dark days of CV-19 eating has become the highlight of and punctuation to my day - (I share my home with my partner who is at high risk of the virus and is shielding from it. So while I do go outside for walks and gardening, not much else.) If I am honest I am ‘mildly’ addicted to food and the shape of my body now reflects this. Neh, anyway, enjoyed the video as I always enjoy reorganisation tips and your sensible and competent take on daily life spurs me on to greater things. Thanks as always :)

I love the jar idea for condiments, but curious as to why you didn’t put the Grey Poupon in one? Did you run our of clear jars? Your videos have really helped me in my attempt to minimize my life. My two daughters have graduated from college now and starting a new phase for myself and husband. Would love to visit Sweden one day in the future. Thank you for your videos. Love your cats…

I have a roommate and he's horribly messy and a packrat. I've given up sharing a fridge with him because he never throws out his old take away food items and complains when I clean it out that I throw too much away. I decided to buy a compact, college dorm style fridge for my bedroom. Considering how messy my roommate is, I'm tempted to make a little kitchenette in my room so I can avoid dealing with his mess all over the house. Watching your videos is my escape from the massive irritation he causes me daily. I too can't stand seeing labels but never thought of rehoming food items in uniform containers and relabeling. Seeing your shelves at the end was visually soothing. Btw, I couldn't find your Amazon link to the label maker.
