Are we what we eat?

Some questions like this are questioned by people everyday.

We, the human beings, feed ourselves with two different types of food. One is the vegetable type and the other is the animal one.

There are some studies which confirm that human beigs can only survive if they eat.

Actually, live starts, when a living being begin to feed itself, so it is coherent to say that we are what we eat.

Because of all the culture and costums that food contains, people are formed and grown up in different ways, because each country has its own way to cook and eat.

Eating does not only implies feeding yourself, it brings us knowledge about how other people live all around the world, and also how people call some certain food with strange names.

Another question that I would like to leave is.... Why do we cook food? Just only to get rid of the bacteries and eat healthier? Or just because we like food fried/ baked/ steamed/ cooked ? Does any culture field have something to do with cooking the food?
