No: I read that as a timely warning and reminder. I feel sometimes, that I slip into the trap of yakking on too much about foodie stuff, and your friend is absolutely right, in a way. At the end of the day it all dissolves into a mush in your stomach.
Having said that, though, there is the issue of looking after your health through what you eat, and of enjoying, looking forward to, meals instead of merely enduring them (as I used to do, when I was a child).
