To me food is an essential in my life. It’s something I like and enjoy but also need to live that’s what makes it so important. An average human can only go a certain amount of time before their going to need food to just survive. But food can also been seen as a want at times and not necessarily a need. At times if I just see food and it’s something I like ill eat it even if I’m not hungry at the time. Mostly the reason on why I like food so much is the fact that it feels me up, and it’s something that makes me feel better, it’s a positive thing. But I think food can be influenced by your emotions and your mood at the time and then it can become a negative thing. For those who look at food as to cope from something like depression they might then take advantage of that and eat all the time which can then lead to obesity especially if they aren’t eating healthy foods. Food can also be influenced by money, if you’re someone that doesn’t have a lot of money, then you’re always going to have to settle for what you can get and that might not always be the best. The best things in life are always the most expensive and it’s the same with food. For someone who can only afford McDonalds as their everyday typical meal isn’t healthy but for those who have more money someone can get something healthy like steak, lobster, etc. So money is always going to have an influence on your food.
When it comes to food I’m not someone that has priorities so I’m not a picky eater, but I am kind of scared when it comes to trying new foods that are very out of what I’m used to, like sushi. I’ve been told by people that’s it’s something that you would have to just have the taste for because it has an special taste that not all people are used to. But if it looks good and I know I’ll like it then its fine for me. But then again I try to stay away from the fast food places because it’s unhealthy and even though now it might not affect me 10 years from now it will. So I personally try to stay away from McDonalds, Burger King, etc. For something to be an ideal meal for me it’ll just have to be something that I will enjoy. If I’m given food that I don’t like or tastes weird then I won’t eat it. The point of food is that it’s supposed to taste good, and be to your liking and fulfill the need you have and when I find something that I enjoy I tend to get greedy, but its good so I don’t care.
Kristen,
ReplyDeleteThe focus on your experience (eating when not hungry, fear of long term damage from fast food, etc.) interested me.
Your first sentence begins with 2 unnecessary words. The first sentence should be especially sharp (the last one too). You need to take something like this and edit it - create more paragraphs, each with a coherent focus, proofread ("ill" should be I'll), etc.
