Food is any thing eaten by plants, animals and humans that keeps us alive and make us grow.

Food is any substance[1] consumed to provide nutritional support for an organism. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential
nutrients , such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins ,
vitamins , or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells to provide energy , maintain life, or stimulate growth.
Historically, humans secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering and agriculture. Today, the majority of the food energy required by the ever increasing population of the world is supplied by the food industry.
Food safety and food security are monitored by agencies like the International Association for Food Protection, World Resources Institute,
World Food Programme , Food and Agriculture Organization , and International Food Information Council . They address issues such as
sustainability , biological diversity, climate change, nutritional economics, population growth , water supply , and access to food.
The right to food is a human right derived from the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights ( ICESCR), recognizing the " right to an adequate standard of living , including adequate food", as well as the "fundamental right to be free from hunger

Method of taking in foods

Different tribes, cultures, countries et al have different types of food they take and the method used for the consumption of food.

For instance the Europeans prefer to eat their foods with fork and knife.

Reasons for taking soup

Soup is an example of a food that is highly satiating. In a clinical survey in which intakes were analyzed from food diaries, Jordan et al.

(1981) found that meals that included soup were associated both with lower caloric intakes within the meals and with lower daily caloric intakes than those meals without soup. Several studies have confirmed that soup is a highly satiating food (Kissileff et al., 1984; Rolls et al., 1990).

At least part of the explanation is the low energy density of soup.

Energy density, that is the calories in a given weight of food, could affect satiety by influencing the rate at which nutrients reach receptors involved in satiety (Kissileff, 1985).

Foods with a low energy density require that a greater bulk of food be consumed for a given level of energy intake.

The bulk of food to be consumed affects eating rate, gastric distension, and intestinal stimulation.

Also, it is likely that individuals have learned the appropriate portion sizes that they should eat to experience satiety.
