Comfort Food
What do you think about when you are eating?
We have no idea what substances are on our plate and we don't even care where the food comes from. But we see food as the most basic product of the environment.
From the time we are infants, food symbolises comfort and nurturing. Our food choices are partly influenced by family, culture and upbringing. In other words, we rely on our comfort memories and familiar experience to choose food.
The close relationship between humans and food seems to be stable and safe.
