Food is said to be the of the basic needs of man aside of course from water, air, and shelter. Without it we may never survive and do what we want to do. Food nourish not only our physical body but as well the whole aspect of being a human. When i was still young my mom would always tell me to eat, for me to grow and i just eat and eat without knowing the other reasons but when i started going to school, there is in fact a lot of reasons why humans need to eat food. I even got better understanding when i started studying nursing. The nutrients and as well the minerals we get from our food keeps us not only healthy but as well away from different diseases.

As to what is important: Taste or Nutrition? I would definitely choose Nutrition. Taste for me is just one thing why we eat food and its actually more subjective. What i mean is that what may be delicious for me may not be for others but when we say its for nutrition, well there are a lot of references that can prove that every fruit or vegetable we eat has its own importance. Taste may be very inviting and if people really like it, well it may lead to other problems. For example,when a person loves to eat sweets like cakes, pastries or ice creams. At first no effect is seen but that person is said to be satisfied but in the long run he/she may eventually experience its effect like if the blood sugar rises, then it may lead to diabetes and its complications. If there is no control, well it may lead to obesity which is in fact one of the biggest factor to various diseases. this is also a problem for many people.
