THE MEANING OF FOOD IN MY LIFE



Food is any nourishing substance that is eaten, drunk , or taking into the body to sustain life, provide energy promote growth etc.. it is became more important in our lives that we cannot live without it. It
is very difficult for a person to stay for one without food to show the important of food. As an Caribbean woman I have learned how cook took and I have taught to eat at home. In my table you will  probably see a plate like this one.

It's mandatory for my family to eat together, seating around the table talk to one and other , telling each other what is going one in our lives, stories, make fun on each other. In our culture the Sundays meals are very important to us and no one couldn't miss it and it has to be home made. I cook a lot almost everyday for my family to make sure they eat well and healthy.

I'm not comfortable eating food in the street I'm not a fan of fast food neither my family, that was the way we are raised "to cook at home". I used to work in the food industry every time I came home I have to make sure I cook and no outside food come in to the house. My family will look at me and say you better watch what you're putting in your mouth because you're getting fat.  I weighted 129 pounds but for them to discourage me from eating food from my work they will tell me you're getting fat.For some society they see fat as a blessing parts of my country are like that but for others is curse I think for my family is a curse.

Food means a lot to me it means health, happiness, blessing etc.. but the kind you're eaten could mean something else. I think food can also helps you growth in many different ways and it can also kill you. for example the cheapest food, the street made food, and some restaurants, even the hotels any places that served food can be also a danger or a benefit to your life. Depended where or who's preparing it. For example months ago I want to a fish market I bought some fishes when I got into my house me and my son both of us got a stomachache I fund out it was from the fish we ate.

 I always encouraged people to cook at home not because it is healthy you're preparing your own food but you're also known what's in it. It is also a good thing for family to seat together and eat a food that they are feel free and safe to eat. I love cooking and for my family there is nothing more important than seat around the table and eat home made food together.
