Why Do Humans Eat Food?

Image
Have you ever really stopped to think about why we eat food? At its core, food is fuel. Humans need energy to stay alive, and food is how we get that energy. It's a basic biological need without it, our bodies can’t function. But if you look a little deeper, you’ll notice that not everyone eats just to survive. Some people develop a habit of eating at certain times, regardless of hunger.

To build a stable career or achieve financial goals, people study relentlessly, work tirelessly, and unknowingly trade away pieces of themselves. What begins as a dream for a better future gradually turns into a life of compromises. We trade our joy, comfort, and peace of mind for stressful work routines and high expectations.

The bank balance grows, but the soul feels increasingly empty. The warmth of childhood friends, the calm of home-cooked meals, and the peace of a familiar hometown are replaced by de...
