Original artwork description:

A healthy, well-balanced and vegan diet is great, even if it’s not, it's still wonderful. Food should be a pleasure, no matter what other people think. Excessive desire to eat food like in the selections from Pinterest often turns out to be a trap. Concerns about lack of gloss and ""positivity"" result in higher stress and anxiety.

Food is the theme of this painting. It depicts a plate on which one has put a slice of bacon, useful for the nervous system, and fried eggs, whose properties are also beneficial for a living organism. Barely noticeable smoke and an ephemeral smell emanates from the food, as if the dish is lying in front of us, exciting the olfactory receptors. The highlight of the picture is a sprig of rosemary, a spicy herb with small grey-green leaves that look like Christmas tree needles and a bittersweet, lemony, slightly pine aroma. However, the second protagonist of the canvas is a dog that looks at food not intended for it. There are exceptionally healthy foods on the plate, though good boys should not eat human food.

Food is a source of strength, inspiration or otherwise depression and guilt, depending on whether you enjoy it or not. Everyone is free to choose and not to pursue ideals. If we were more honest with ourselves, there would be fewer sad eyes in the world, like those of the dog on the canvas.
