My first priority on food is the taste: it has to taste good. But, to me, "good" food is different to me depending on my mood and sometimes even the weather. Ice cream and smoothies are what I love to eat in the summer (something cold and refreshing)or when I'm exhausted from a long day. In the winter I love food that warms me up. I tend to eat lots of snacks-especially chips- when I'm irritated or stressed. I think my priorities on food can confuse people sometimes, but I think it makes a lot of sense to eat foods that meet your current moods. I think my typical meals meet the standards of my ideal meal most of the time. It seems like my mother can tell what I feel like eating each day.
My second priority on food is the people I eat with- a priority that is only met on special occasions. Even dull foods can taste good to me, when I'm eating with groups of friends or with a reunion from school. At those times, food is just an accessory-all I think about in those times is the stories I hear and the memories of that day. I think this priority is a good aspect of myself, because it shows that who I eat with is at times, more important than what I actually eat. (unless it tastes really bad.)
I believe food is sacred. It's sacred because its a necessity that is natural. We take advantage of the food we eat, because we don't think too deeply about areas of high poverty and illness rates. We also don't think much about the fact that animals are killed in the process of the meaty foods we eat(except for vegetarians). I think food is sacred mainly because they are natural and we cannot survive without food.
