Food is any substance, usually composed of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and water, that can be eaten or drunk by an animal or human for nutrition or pleasure. Items considered food may be sourced from plants, animals or other categories such as fungus or fermented products like alcohol. Although many human cultures sought food items through hunting and gathering, today most cultures use farming, ranching, and fishing, with hunting, foraging and other methods of a local nature included but playing a minor role.

Most traditions have a recognizable cuisine, a specific set of cooking traditions, preferences, and practices, the study of which is known as gastronomy. Many cultures have diversified their foods by means of preparation, cooking methods and manufacturing. This also includes a complex food trade which helps the cultures to economically survive by-way-of food, not just by consumption.

Many cultures study the dietary analysis of food habits. While humans are omnivores, religion and social constructs such as morality often affect which foods they will consume. Food safety is also a concern with foodborne illness claiming many lives each year. In many languages, food is often used metaphorically or figuratively, as in "food for thought".

A food/drink to compliment blue berry muffins?
Q. Does anyone have any ideas on what i should put out to eat with my blueberry muffins? It can be a food or a drink or something to put on top of them! Thanks!
Asked by Margo S - Tue Jul 15 18:57:21 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. coffee , tea and milk ... I don't like anything with mine, but butter or honey butter might be good. You could serve some fresh fruit with it, if you wanted too (cantaloupe / honeydew slices, whole strawberries, sliced peaches). If you want to be very "gourmet", Hagen Daz has a private reserve "Acai" sorbet (acai berries are Brazilian blueberries - and very expensive)

are there any bad side effects if adding food coloring into a drink, like say, vitamin water or something?
Q. we have a food/drink theif at work. we want this person to have colored teeth (red or blue and whatnot), and a colored tongue just so we can catch this person in the act. but we don't want to do it if it'll send them to the hospital or something. any other creative food prank suggestions welcomed.

A. LOL-no, regular food coloring has no adverse side effects unless consumed on a regular basis(example FD&C blue was thought to be a cancer culprit at one time-with years of consumption)...however a one time prank should be safe. Have fun!
