Ever since the beginning of mankind food has played an important
role, not only is it necessary to survive, but it is full of
symbolism. In the early days, food represented social statues. They
believed that the more one weighed, the more money they had because they could afford to purchase food. This is why in the old days, people were perceived as having a curvier body then they would know days. To me, food represents bringing people together and making and reliving memories.
For me personally I see food as a way to bring people together. A perfect
example of this is holidays. In my family we use every holiday as an excuse to be together and eat lots of food. The food brings my family together by giving everyone something we can enjoy together, while all sitting around the same table. This makes a more relaxed environment where everyone can just talk. This is why in my
family we also had family dinner nights, once a week. Dinner gave us time to
catch up on everything that happened throughout the busy
week.
All of these examples of how food brings people together also show that food can be
used to make and relive memories. A way of making memories is by cooking food.
When we cook a family dinner at my house, it becomes an event. Everyone in my
family has their part in cooking and memories are always made. Food also is a
great way to relive memories. Sitting around a table eating, is a great time to
share old stories and relive those past memories.
Food plays a major role in everyone’s life. Not only is food necessary for survival, it is something that our social being revolves around. It brings people together and allows time for memories. Food makes the world go round.
