Why should we care about food?

There is a popular saying that if you don’t pay the farmer you end up paying the doctor. Eating healthy food on a regular basis determines how healthy you are as well as how active you would be. Though most of us do not consider food as important what we eat and how we eat plays a critical role in our lives. Thus having access to healthy food is very important for our well being and living a fulfilled life.

Food has always been an important cultural, medical and religious activity for ages. It is concerned about the reasons why we eat the way we eat now, in the present. By exploring food history, we realize that many elements of our everyday life that we consider connected to current events were already a source of preoccupation for earlier generations.

We are not just worried about the quality of what we eat; we have to worry about many more issues like counterfeits, careless production, and even dangerous additives and so on. A different idea about what is good for us and for the environment, about what we should eat to stay healthy, and what we should feed our children, have shaped discussions that are still current.
