 Food nourishes us in ways that go beyond calories and minerals. Often, in the field of nutrition and public health, we focus on food on the microlevel, and seek to improve intake of various nutrients to improve overall health.

Food is our culture, our community, our personality, joys, celebrations, and memories. Food is survival, it is pleasure, it is life.
