The Huron Expositor, 1982-07-07, Page 12Al2 — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, JULY 7, 1982 KOdglif .eGiOfi2. ©nd on-betwongt All about food and eating by Ugh akiMiN®q "Life,would be a lot easier if we didn't have to eat." I hear this an awful lot at the grocery store where 1 work. If we didn't have to eat. it would mean saving a lot of money every week and getting out of the chore of buying groceries. putting them away on the shelves. cooking and washing dishes. Life would seem much easier. But would it be as much fun? Not really. Food is really great. h serves as entertainment. a boredom breaker. survival and best of all something to complain about when there is nothing else. Take for exam- ple when you've had a really bad day but you can't put your finger on what exactly it is that is bothering you. When you get home, you aren't about to Say that you want to cook or even eat dinner, no way. you're going to complain about it. And then when you do eat it. you're probably not going to say how great it tastes, you are more likely to say thal, it tastes funny. Food is a great thing to complain about. I have found in the past that food really puts in the time. For example. when a girl or boy is babysitting, and there is nothing really great on television, they need some- thing to do. Well. if there is food available to them, they can eat to fill in the time. Also. if they are watching television. perhaps a scam movie. eating chips or ano- ther snack can be very com- forting. A great campfire treat is popcorn or marShmallows. Making these treats is fun as well as a way of tilling your stomach. Making pizza can be entertaining as well. as can almost any food. Watch- ing someone else eat some- thing can be entertaining as well. Take a child eating its first birthday cake for exam- ple. All sorts of people take pictures of that. Food gives people an ex- cuse to stop on the road during a long car ride. Food gives children something to do for their parents on special days. such as their birthday. making breakfast id bed on Mother's Day or Father's Day or the day after they brought the car home liter than they promised. Since people have to eat. students get a lunch hour between classes and employees get a lunch hour. a break from work. We wouldn't get this if not for food. What 'good would a picnic be if we didn't have to eat? The ants would go hungry and there would be no reason to take a picnic basket. table cloth and dishes. unless of course you like that sort of decoration. What kind of food fights could kids have if there was no food to fight with? It would be a pretty boring life. We seem to eat when we are excited, sad. scared. angry. happy and miserable. Lots of people will eat certain foods just to get back at other people. For example, some- one who has tried to lose weight might eat a checolate 7 sundae to rid of his fruitra- tions. This just makes the frustrations worse when he finds out that he gained weight after the sundae. but we never learn. Some people eat to forget. They figure that if they are concentrating on eating and chewing every bite, they won't worry about their prob- lems. People eat and feast to celebrate. After a wedding or graduation ceremony, it seems to be a custom for friends and relatives to eat a hearty meal together and discuss family and activities. Another custom that seems to be strong around this area is a lunch after a get-together or even a funeral. This is a more quiet affair than a wedding dinner but often you eat for two reasons: first because you are hungry and • second to talk and get to gether with others. Different people prefer dif- ferent kinds of foods. An Italian wouldn't likely be able to survive on Chinese food. It's all in what you grow up with. 'People have many dif- ferent eating habits as well. Chinese eat many of their foods with chop sticks. where Canadians couldn't even use a fork to eat a hamburger. People eat at different times of day as well. Some people skip breakfast or lunch and eat a very big dinner at suppertime. I just "pig out" all day long. Finally, food affects people in different ways. Some people gain weight from just looking at food while others can eat and eat and eat and not gain an ounce. It just doesn't seem fair. Life might be a lot easier if we didn't have to eat but it wouldn't be nearly as inter- esting. Take for example all of the different recipes that people come up with such as a peanut butter. dill pickle and ketchup sandwich . Now that's interesting!
