I just want to point out that being present in the moment does not preclude planning for the future. It would be wise of you to acknowledge in the present the likelihood that you'll have to eat in the future, so go ahead and make your shopping list.
Just don't make the unknowable and unpredictable future mean anything -- like, worrying about getting your shopping done or fretting that the bananas might not be ripe. You can figure for contingencies about the future; it's feeling emotions based on things that are not happening that prevents you from being present Now.
