In his book "In Defense of Food", Michael Pollan talks about how the invention of diets, and the rage of establishing nutritional parameters supported by scientific data; has caused our health to be affected, and created an uncontrolled need for healthy eating. For Pollan, the nutritional value that a food may have is much more than the sum of the individual nutrients it may have. I love food and I love to eat, but I never thought about importance of food, and how people see it. For me, the truth is that they did not matter; but now that I think about it, seeing it and analyzing it the way Pollan describes it, he is right. An obsession has been created around food and how it helps us to see ourselves and feel healthy, but the truth is that in most occasions what we believe is wrong.

But be forewarned: if that setup is what you’re after, start your search early. Even the most lenient Airbnb hosts are often wary of events, so it can be hard finding someone who both has a secluded beach at their disposal and doesn’t mind letting you use their property as a home base.
