Summary
This quote suggests that someone who prioritizes calorie-counting and obsesses over food's nutritional content misses out on the true essence and pleasure of gourmet experiences. Similar to a tart, who is expected to be focused solely on indulgence and enjoyment, constantly checking the time takes away from the enjoyment of the moment. The quote implies that there is a time and place for considering calories, but it should not intrude upon the pure enjoyment and appreciation of fine food.
