ENG101post2 The meaning of food in my life?

   In life, there are tons of qualities, and aspects of what helps us live and produce every day. There are so many things that we know of, yet like life itself, there is so much more that we don't know. Things that we take for granted, and in those respects, food is one of them. What food means to a homeless person, or to someone who never had the privilege to eat a variety of foods, let alone any is something to think about. It's something to keep in mind every time you eat.  Every time I bite in to food that I eat, whether it be at home, restaurant etc. I tend to think about the animals that were killed for our consummation. Because when you really think about it, it's a vicious cycle .
     It's definitely the kind of cycle that then puts into consideration how much work and effort one has to make to create a meal, let alone a great tasting/healthy one. If there is anything that good provides other than the nutrients, proteins, fibers among other things that keep civilization alive and in some aspects healthy(aside from fast food ), what food means to me is one thing among many. It means one thing entirely; which is Culture.
    In the same vain as how linguists try to find out about how language was born and created , or theologists and scientists, trying to find out when, where , who, why and how humanity was created , food goes hand in hand with that. I tend to think about how the food was produced or how it's F.D.A approved. What makes food in New York different from
Food in the Caribbean and so on. Because food is just as much as an art as art itself. It's able to give you nostalgia in the moment you bite into something so distant yet familiar. Whether it's reminiscing with friends over Chinese food, or tasting the golden layers of a well made waffle, or having a Spanish/ Italian fiesta, the food allows for memories to be created and remembered. Much like in the same effects of how movies, books and other media tend to do the same. Heck Geoff johns did a good example in his justice league run with Jim lee, where Wonder Woman is newly introduced tour world, and when offered ice cream(which she had no knowledge of since she is an amazon who had no experience with our culture) is ecstatic when she tried out ice cream and loves it. It's no different from a kid trying out their first ice cream or cookie. It's all about culture. It definitely is a way of life. It's something to think about on the long hours of school and work, and with that said, I'm hungry. No leave me be, cause I'm about go get some grub. Until next time folks.- Ant.Andujar.
