Food


Food is any substance, usually composed of carbohydrat, fats, proteins and water, that can be eatn 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 funqus 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.
