Food
Food is any substance, usually composed primarily of
carbohydrates,
fats, water and/or
proteins, that can be
eaten or
drunk by an animal or human being for
nutrition or pleasure. Items considered food may be sourced from plants, animals or other categories such as fungus or fermented products like
alcohol. Although many human cultures sought food items through
hunting and gathering, today most cultures use
farming,
ranching, and
fishing, with hunting,
foraging and other methods of a local nature included but playing a minor role.
