Food is beauty. The way you prepare it, the way it tastes everything about it is beautiful. It can say alot about a person. Someone who eats caviar might have more money than someone who eats a sloppy joe. Food is the basis of our life. Most people are always concerned about things such as, "When am i going to get my next meal", "What do you want for dinner tonight honey", etc... Food and eating are just a natural process for us, it is considered "normal" you don't question it because its not new or something you think about because not a lot of people put thought into it.

My favorite foods are foods that have a fulling and pleasing taste something that isn't plain. However i do not prioritize the food i like the most because it is difficult to obtain them and not to forget, expensive. The ideal meal would be eating fresh made pasta in italy, however my everyday meals fail to meet the desires because i don't live in italy and eating pasta everyday would be unhealthy. Food isnt as sacred as it is necessary. Without food we would not get the nutrients that we need to survive so in some sense it is sacred but only because without it we would die. In Brazilian Candomble by example, fishes are sacred for their connection to Yemaja (A Deity.)This takes place in other religions too. Some examples:

• coconut: Ganeshin Hinduism
• Bread: representing the body of christ in Catholicism
• Wine: representing the blood of christ in Catholicism
• The challah in Judaism is symbol of divine presence in shabat
• Chestnut: Befana
• Coca leaf: for the Andean cultures
