…LuScIoUs FoOd

Why is it that a celebration is always associated with food, eating, drinking? When did it start? Can we celebrate something without eating at all? Why is this so? Why do we prepare luscious food when we have big celebrations? Why do we need food even? Can we live without it?

Scientifically speaking, food is any substance, usually composed primarily of carbohydrates, fats, water and/or proteins, that can be eaten or drunk by an animal for nutrition or pleasure. Items considered food may be derived from plants, animals or other categories such as fungus or fermented products like alcohol.

Food is one of the highlights of a festivity. And all people like eating and drinking in any sort. It is even a waterloo for many. That’s why there are people who are overweight or who suffer obesity. They like to eat even more than what is expected. They can’t help but eat and eat.

Well, it is very advisable to balance our food in take. We should not eat to much of oil, fat and sugar. Dairy, meat and other protein should be taken less, either. They can make us fat. What we should eat the most are the following, carbohydrates like grains. Fruits and vegetables too, are good and have to be taken more. So eat a balance diet everyone. Have a healthy meal everyday!
