Food - Initial Thoughts

What are your priorities in food and what do you think of those priorities?In what ways does your typical meal fail to meet the desires of an ideal meal, and what do you think of that? Is food sacred (and what does that mean)?

When I think of food, my tasted buds get prepare for meaningful food. I love home cooked meals, I enjoy those the most. I can tell the difference between home cooked meals or a meal that a person rushed to cook and it doesn't taste the way you pictured it. Those meals I get angry and want to throw it in the person’s face. If the food is not colorful and it looks like you might die from taking a bite, don’t ask me to eat it.  I think every food should be made with care and thought because what you eat effects how you feel. If you’re in a Chinese restaurant and the Asian person that is cooking your food doesn’t look happy or saying curse words then I suggest not eating there.  

Food can be scary; when I do eat meat (Which is basically every day) I think about what if these animals were to be alive? Would it matter? What if we were all vegetarian’s?  Would the processes be the same for all the sea animals? They would probably make a new sea creature and say it’s really good for our body.  My sister would force me to watch documents about meat factories. Which I thought were helpful but it didn’t change my mind about eating meat. My mind is forced to eat meat. When she visited there will be vegan dishes sitting on the table after school. I did noticed a difference when I just ate vegetables or when my plate was filled with more greens than meat I felt more active. But my food habits started changing when I took an allergy test so, NO NUTS, MILK, EGGS for myself. I started liking vegetables and it expanded my taste buds. We humans can't survive without food. We need food! If we’re hungry we got to eat!  It’s true I become very moody when I’m hungry and if the food is not ready.  It’s funny how I think this, but there’s people out in the world where every day its survival for them. Some people don’t get to eat every day or have full meals for themselves. The truth is we humans will come to do anything for food. This is probably why they try to make diet food, natural juice, natural foods but is it really natural? It’s labeled on the product but we don’t really know. We don’t live on farms or go hunting in the woods (most people in the city don’t).  I don’t wake up and tell my mom lets go find a deer tonight for dinner.
