Food with time, a necessity and a choice..
Some people live to eat and others to live. The subject of food may raise dissimilar impressions for people in different ways. For a person in a developed country, eating may mean a resolution as to what to eat and the contentment he had in eating good food compared to a malnourished peasant in a third world country who symbolizes victuals as a scarce necessity which he must provide for to keep himself and his family from starving.

For all living things, eating is necessary, as food is needed for our growth and general well being of our bodies. Without food, we will die. Ironically, there is a drastic increase in the number of people who are suffering from anorexia. It is an eating disorder, in which people that they are disgustingly overweight when, in fact, they are far too thin. This mentality that these people principally the youths have, have affected them both physically and mentally relentlessly, leading to eventual death.

Similarly, one’s intuition of food may be influenced by one’s ethnicity. To a Hindu, a simple necessary dish would have to be a set of rice and curry, ultimately spicy whereas to the Europeans, rich may not be as important as salads and different courses of food and with a brisk fast-food industry climbing its ladder to success, people can’t envision life without mouth watering junk food. Eating has been such as imperative daily activity of us when a major step in history of discovery of fire occurred. Then on, when one was able to cook, food became fundamentally easier to consume of.

As much as some dread eating due to physical differences, others find eating a way to eradicate their grieve or a form of celebration. As a result, food can become an ingredient to satisfaction and contented relief. Scientifically shown and statically proven, many have developed a mentality to eat to their heart’s content. This has resulted to obesity, a state of being overweight, sometimes to the extent of having an concluding condition, a reverse one against the body.

In addition, there is a group of people who tend to overindulge the goodness of food popularly known as chocolates. These people too tend to get fat especially when they’re a sedentary. It id definitely important to note the consequences of eating too much or even too little. A balanced diet is highly recommended, subsequently.

While there are some to have the liberty to choose as they please, there are others who have not much room of thought to pick from and thus craves for should it be known like for instance, in various parts of Africa suffer from famines and thus, many children are malnourished. They are often stripped with bones and ostensibly, a bowl of rice will do justice as they known the worth of a grain.

But on a lighter note, one’s man meat is another’s poison. As far as eating is concerned, one can eat to extend of anything that is edible. Nevertheless again, what is your definition of edible food? Thais are known for their fried insects, which released minerals while the Germans have the fetish for pork knuckles. Rabbits, crocodiles and even dogs have been recognized globally for their exquisite taste. If you ask me, as long as they are people who are able to eke out a living, their affair with food and their appetite will always be a delish and appreciative one.
