Food Question

What comes to mind when you hear the word ‘food’?I think that's a tough questions without one simple answer, but that's exactly the reason why I chose it  - I like writing about such wide-ranging topics.  ;)

To be honest, the first thing I was thinking about when I read this question was what I've been eating today and what I could possibly eat for dinner. The next thing was that I'm really thankful that something every human being needs for life is something that can be so satisfying and delicious. Imagine we wouldn't need energy from food to survive, and it would be enough to charge our batteries with electricity or something like that. Must be horrible and boring!

Enjoying food is something that connects everyone. Family dinners, business lunchs or the big buffets and meals at weddings bring people together. Just picture how antisocial you would be if you would not have to eat anything.

One last thing: Over the last few years I realised something about food: Healthy for somebody does not mean healthy for everybody. I started my journey of figuring out the right food for me some years ago, just to find out that there are so many different opinions about what's healthy, what you should avoid and what you should eat at what daytime and so on. Right now, I don't care much about that. I learned a lot form all these articles and videos, but it think everybody can more or less distinguish between healthy and unhealthy foods. Some need fruits to get the right vitamines, some do not tolerate them at all and can get really uncomfortable. Like so much in life healthy food is subjective and shouldn't get too generalised. But please don't get me wrong - I don't think that eating only fast and stodgy food is healthy for anybody. Eating varied food is something very important!

Above all - listen to your body. I think that's something many people forget - in the end you are responsible for what you've been eating your whole live, and only you have to live with the result. ;)

I'm hungry now.

Good Bye, Butterfly.
