Food

We no longer live in a time where we think that food is a source of living, at least not in America. Even though we need food to keep us alive, not too many people give it a second thought anymore. Food Contest such as eating contest, cook offs, and breaking records for the largest food item ever made are what we use for entertainment. Food has now become entertainment. It doesn't state that in the dictionary or wikipedia...

We have come a long way from where food was scarce, and man learned how to store and preserve out of necessity and survival, not flavor and size. Now days we play with food because we can, we have the luxury to do so. We have the resources to play, invent and create! What a different time we are living in... I wonder what the future holds for next generations to come? Will the entire world eventually have an over abundance of food? Will everyone around the world come up with the next most amazing dish ever made? If only I had the chance to look way into the future to see what food as in store for everyone... I hope it is great, I would like to see and know that everyone has food, that there is no starvation, that everyone has the chance and choice to play with their food... Do you get to play, invent and create?
