Food Matters

Hello, my name is Macintosh and I am in a class called Language 120 that is taught by professor Pisano. Today I will be discussing why food matters to the individual, the family, and the world.

    Food does and should matter to anybody and everybody in the world. All life would cease to exist without the nutrition that food provides. Food has a deeper meaning than nutrition, though. To me, food is a art. I love the way the flavors dance on my tongue, presenting my taste buds with the unique identity of the dish I am currently eating. I love trying every type of food and learning about the origins of dishes and what culture a certain dish comes from.

    In a family, food is also extremely important. Food can bring families closer by siblings and parents cooking together or even going to a restaurant to go to. Food can be a conversational topic because families can discuss how a dish is made and families can also talk about how good or bad a food is. A dinner table is a social gathering place where food is eaten. Food is a key ingredient in creating stronger bonds between families.

     Lastly, food plays many roles on Earth. Food can identify a culture by unique dishes. Food has played an important role in history. Food is a business, an art, entertainment, a topic, a bond creator, and even a piece of history. Food is all around us and it creates a universal language that words cannot even dream of creating. Food is a gift, it is a treasure. The point is, food really matters.
