Food

Food refers to any substance that is consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is typically composed of macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, as well as micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. Food can be derived from plants, animals, or fungi and is prepared and ingested to fuel bodily functions, promote growth, and maintain health. The preparation, consumption, and enjoyment of food are also deeply intertwined with cultural practices and social interactions.
