Reasons To Eat

During the caveman period, the reason why people hunt for food was simple, it was because they need food to survive. But take a look at the present time, humans have become more creative and innovative over the years that we now have so many reasons to eat other than to " survive ". 

Here are some of the reasons why we eat that i have thought of ( except for surviving ) : 

1) To celebrate 

Be it to celebrate someone's birthday, wedding anniversary, father's day, mother's day, and a hundred over events, we all love to organise a gathering to eat and celebrate those occasions. 

2) To discover 

Imagine if there's a new ice cream shop open in your local Mall. Many people have been talking about how tasty the ice cream is, how it melts in your mouth once its molecules get heated by your breath inside and they spread apart, sliding over each other, and how the feeling of the melted cream in your mouth is simply, awesome. 

Of course, like most people who love food, including me, you may want to try and discover if the ice cream is really as nice as people say. If it's not, then well, at least you discover something that tastes like shit, right? XD

3) To enjoy 

How many times have you bought food to eat not because of hunger, but because you are craving for it as its taste can never leave your taste buds? 

That question pretty much sums up " To Enjoy ".  

4) There's nothing to do 

Why do some or most people gain weight after holidays? Because they are so bored that they resort to going to their fridge and keep on eating. 

I'm not saying that we have no life, but there are those days whereby people have no outing plans or they are out of cash, so they have to stay at home and rot. 

5) To compete 

If you have ever watched shows whereby people compete with each other to see who finishes the food first, you will know that it's epic. 

It is to test whether you are able to perservere and keep on eating even though your stomach is saying, " NO, NO. NO MORE, PLEASE D; " 

Man, I would love to compete in one of those eating competitions if given the opportunity. But most likely I would throw up :3
