The Act of Eating
Gist of the Theme
Who are your eating with right now and what are you eating?
A full-course meal on a date, an "at-home" dinner with the entire family, or, perhaps a fast food hamburger, all alone?
When and where are you eating?
A feast at a festival or big celebration? Lunch at school or your place of work?
Or, perhaps you are staring down at a new and interesting delicacy while on holiday.
Maybe you're eating in a hospital room, or consuming emergency rations at an evacuation center after an earthquake or flood. Maybe you're taking a meal in a refugee camp or in the desert, or even in space. Try to imagine your next meal... anywhere in the universe.
What kind of utensils are you using to eat this meal?
Your favorite fork or chopsticks? Disposable dishes?
Special utensils made specifically for the disabled, elderly, or ill?
Take a moment and give some thought to the dishes and utensils you use on a daily basis.
And, exactly where do all the provisions come from, and where do they go once you are done with them? Are those foods actually safe to eat? Aren't you worried about the technology that can genetically modify natural ingredients?
Have you ever given serious consideration to the waste created by your leftovers or the packaging your groceries come in? What happens to all the garbage that remains after each meal?
Think about the ways you can preserve and protect what we have now-and what we will be leaving the children of the future.
Although the act of eating is the most basic activity for all living things, it is also our one of greatest pleasures.
What is the highest form of "eating" for you? Perhaps it is the quest for the most wonderful delicacies in the world, or, maybe it is to be thankful for the fruits of nature we receive everyday and to not be wasteful.
Yet, there are those who suffer because they cannot eat even though they crave food: People who suffer from starvation due to poverty, people who cannot enjoy food because of old age or illness, people who are restricted by food allergies, or those on a diet who must deny themselves certain foods on a daily basis.
Eating is directly connected to our memories and what we eat and how we eat is part of our traditions and culture.
Try to remember those nostalgic flavors from your childhood or your mother's homemade dishes.
Do you even know the origins of specialty foods from your region?
The world is so rich in ceremonies and rituals concerning food and meals, as well as in the manners we use for accepting and enjoying the food we eat. The act of eating is tied to everything from religion and culture to history, politics, and education...even to the environment in general.
On top of this, we each add our own eating habits as well.
Eating is Living.
