WHAT IS FOOD?
Food is any substance consumed by living organisms, including liquid drinks. Food is the main source of energy and of nutrition for animals, and is usually of animal or plant origin.
• Any substance that can be metabolized by an organism to give energy and build tissue
a Any solid substance (as opposed to liquid) that is used as a source of nourishment; “food and drink”
• Anything that provides mental stimulus for thinking
Food is important for life. To be healthy and active, we should certainly have enough food. But the foods we eat should also be safe and rich in all the nutrients our body needs. We should choose from a wide variety of foods and we should eat them regularly, throughout the day, every day of the year. Do not forget that we should also enjoy the food that we eat; it should look, smell and taste good. Without good nutrition, children and young people cannot develop their potential to the full, and adults will have difficulty in doing their best.
