The food humans eat daily affect them in so many ways.Food is very vital to human existence, because the vital nutrients to be healthy can only be obtained from the food people eat daily.The carbohydrates,calcium,protein,fats and vitamins derived from the different food products are vital in making sure that the body works properly without breaking down.The carbohydrates containing foods are vital to keeping humans strong and healthy.Calcium containing foodstuffs help the proper development of bones,teeth and hair.When people wake up in the mornings and opt to fast or go without morning food ,they will notice that their bodies will become weak.This shows us how humans cannot survive without food.Carbohydrate staple foods such as bread and milk protein remain the family favourites for ages,with food items such as oats supplementing bread and tea for breakfasts .Some people opt to eat extras such as cakes,biscuits using them to drink tea and coffee , while dashing out to meet the office demands in the mornings.Many people do pride themselves as lovers of tea with England being mentioned as a favourite destination for heavy tea drinkers.Many offices work hard to provide breakfasts of tea and biscuit to their workers each morning ,before work starts with many coming into the offices with their owns flasks of tea or coffee.The fatty foods are also necessary for the heathy upkeep of man.Without food people cannot stay alive as protein foods are vital to the replenishing of dead cells and blood with the vitamins fighting diseases.Many traders have found out that food stuffs and animal products are vital to their successes with the supermarkets selling more of food products than clothes,shoes ,handbags and furniture. Many people are farmers and others are experts at distributing food products with factories and warehouses employing helping hands for food packaging,forklift drivers ,office staff and managers , which makes food vital in job creation and for the general wellbeing of mankind.For the mothers and the chefs doing all round plannings to provide food for the families,food menus are vital to humans and those who cook delicious food , find the art of culinary interesting and a vital aspect of human life.Healthy living means that people are eating healthy.Poor quality of food reflects in the health of those being fed.Food planners and chefs in the work places know that for the staff to come in daily,their job is vital to the good upkeep of the staff.Every woman knows that well fed kids are happy children,so they put their best skills in cooking food for the family.Food is one of the best thing that providence gave to mankind as many enjoy different types of food such as the meat,the plant based foods ,juices and water.Food is a vital aspect of most celebratory moments . Imagine attending a birthday party or wedding party without the presentation of food.People will not only feel let down by the celebrants but they will even grumble for their time wasted. It is not like they cannot afford enough food at home but humans look forward to food that are presented during celebrations.I once attended a celebration where the food was presented late.I was amused when the people that attended the occasion where the celebrants were grumbling that the food was presented late while we were going. Sometimes people behave as if they came just to eat the food presented by the celebrants which many find very amusing.Sometimes humans even fight to take drinks such as coca cola ,Fanta and sprite and other food items which they can afford,but it is human nature to like the drinks presented by others during celebrations.Some even behave as if the food and drinks presented by celebrants during such occasions are the best or different from what people buy at the high street shops with many asking who the presenting chefs were if the food was tasteful.Food is a source o f joy to humans.Some societies around the world present food as objects of goodwill.In many cultures in Africa and some parts of Asia ,young men that wants to marry ladies are asked to present food items such as drinks,tubers of yams, goats ,bags of rice to the brides families to make their intentions known to them and as part of the bridal rites.The show of goodwill and love between inlaws are tied to the presentation of food stuffs as part of enduring marital cultures , which people have tried to stop by questioning the rationalities of expensive marital rites of buying large amount of food items by the young men who came to marry the ladies.But this culture of food presentation is all about good will.Food has been known for its enormous value during ancient times as a vital tool for trade by batter in so many cultures , before the advent of the use of money and bank cards as the tools for trade and payments.Food is a vital tool of love as most men appreciate ladies who can cook tasty foods.It does not matter if the people involved are from the western developed world or the most rural parts of Africa ,Asia and the third world. Television programmes such as come dine with me,proves that most young men still do ask if the woman they want to marry can cook tasty food.In the popular family television series which I have watched many times,participants gave positive node to those whose foods came out tastier with many considering other qualities such as manners ,beauty and fashion as coming latter in making choices of who they will date,which many people do find amusing.Many men pick women who can cook good food as their would be bride with mums priding themselves as having beautiful daughters who knows how to cook especially in countries like India and Nigeria.Food is a vital tool of social integration as people like other cultures for their different and unique culinary skills with English breakfast among the popular choice of food for many cultures.People are surprised that the world likes the the concept of milk,tea,coffee and fried egg for the mornings.
