HW 2: Food

         Food have always been significant to me. Aside from having to eat to survive, i eat to enjoy and relax. Food provides a sort of comfort to me that is always there but has never really been a very healthy relationship. A good hamburger and soda or well made sandwich always hits the spot and relaxes whenever i decide to eat. Food is also a very interesting and beautiful thing to explore because of all the different cultures in our world that do things so differently whether they are good or bad. 
        My priorities with food are very simple but serious. I try to never miss a meal and when i am hungry i eat. These rules are not always beneficial to me because eating whenever i am hungry is not that healthy. Usually what i eat always satisfies me but at tines i feel as if something is missing and this may affect my mood. I feel as if i should change this gradually to start getting my body used to the changes. 
       Food is not really sacred to me because it is not something that my religion dictates(even if it did i do not practice it.) But i am very interested in why food is so important or even spiritual to a lot of religions. I've seen that some cultures believe that the food they eat can be blessed or that by eating it they can be blessed but to me that seems ridiculous because food is for survival although i spend a lot of unnecessary money on it but because i have it.
      Perhaps if i was in a different financial situation i would look at food differently but at the moment i think that only the best quality food should be eaten and four course meals are always a must although i know that for many people that is not possible.
