“The destiny of nations depends on what and how they eat” — Brillat-Savarin
Anyone who has experienced being hungry knows that it is impossible to think properly on an empty stomach. Not only is it difficult to concentrate when one is constantly preoccupied about filling one’s belly, research has shown that chronic hunger and malnutrition can adversely affect the brain, resulting in a decline of cognitive abilities including comprehension and judgment, as well as increasing chances of experiencing anxiety and depression.
This is apart from the importance that culture plays in this as well. The act of eating is often linked to pleasure. It is an activity that engages all of the senses. A dish has to look appealing. It has to smell good. It has to have good texture, both in hand and in the mouth. It must even sound good . Not only must it be nutritious, it must also be culturally relevant to the eater, because the act of eating isn’t just limited to feeding oneself, but of connecting to one’s community as well.
