Why Food Is Amazing

There are so many things in life that bring people joy and happiness. Everyone has their own unique interests and hobbies that make them happy and help them to enjoy life. I have to say that there is one thing that has always kept me satisfied and helped me get through tough times and even celebrate the good times and that thing is food. Food for me has been somewhat of a best friend, or maybe even like a parent. Food has been there for me right after I took my first steps and right after I crashed into a tree on my bike. It has helped me to grow as a person (in more ways than one) and has basically given me purpose in life. I love food for so many different reasons and I’d love to share a few of the main reasons why I believe food is the most wonderful thing in the world:

1. Food is there for you no matter what. Organic, preservatives, or natural herbs. Whether you’re throwing a party or are attending a funeral, there’s one thing that’s for certain: there will be some type of food involved. No matter where you go or what you’re doing, there will be food. I’ve been to fancy dinner parties where they tried to feed me snails and I’ve been to new years eve celebrations where they have those cute little sliders with all the different condiments. It seems like you can’t really escape food and, personally, I think that’s a good thing. Food will always there for your child’s birthday parties and also there when your boyfriend dumps you. No matter what your mood or situation, food is there for you.

2. Food can be used as a gift. This is one of the main reasons why food is the best thing around. Everyone loves receiving food as a gift and there’s not a person out there who wouldn’t absolutely adore a homemade cake or pie or even some chocolate turtles. Most people know that if you give your boss a big box of homemade cookies and peanut brittle for Christmas, that you will more than likely have a raise by the new year. Most people also know that food makes the perfect welcoming gift for new neighbors or can even be given to help comfort people in a time of loss. Giving food to people you love or even your worst enemies is a great way of showing that you really care.

3. Food is readily available and comes in many varieties. No matter where you are, there’s probably some form of food around you somewhere. If you’re stranded on an island and you have no television, cell phone or human contact, chances are the one thing you do have is food. It may not be the best food, or the most visually appealing, but you can definitely find it in the form of a tiny sea creature or even some leaves. For the people lucky enough to not be stranded on an island, food can be purchased at restaurants and in stores and can be used to create the most delicious and wonderful meals and treats.
