On a scale of 1 to 10, how important is food to you?

Question

Do you need big meals

talover · Accepted Answer

Before I give my opinion, let me start by saying, there are two kinds of people in this world. There are those that live to eat and there are those that eat to live. The former being people who are foodies and love to explore cuisine. While the latter are people who are on special diets that require them to eat meals they do not enjoy.
I have a friend who has a rare disease where he can't eat sodium or sugar. His food is very bland and he doesn't enjoy any of it. He doesn't live to eat, he eats to live.

I'm the type of person that lives to eat. To me, food is very important. In fact, the kitchen and the dinner table is the intersection in my home where my family connects the most and food is big part of the gathering. In my home, everyone is at the table for dinner. That's the time we share in community. It's the time we check in with each other and ask how our day was. Whether it is a home cooked meal or take out, food is central to my family. Oh, and we all eat big meals. My motto, better to have more than not enough.

Pretty much 10/10… 😬 This was my “quesopita” the other day. A mix of Mediterranean… basically a chicken shawarma pita… and a quesadilla. Ooof! 😅

10/10
I am known for getting hangry. My whole world starts to crumble when I don't have food around the house. If I want to have a good day, I must be well fed. It comforts and excites me when I know there's good food around. I do little happy dances when I enjoy food a lot.

Wow so many people chose 10/10.
I chose 7. I go in phases of basic, and boredom, and cravings, and enjoyment. I don't use it to destress or self-soothe. But I'm pretty particular about quality.
I cook a lot. I'm always wishing for something new at the grocery store.

Lliam · Answer

I don't need big meals, but I do LOVE tasty food. And I have to eat. So I'd rate food's importance highly. Maybe even 10/10.

MTC29 · Answer

I like to eat. Frankly, a woman who tells me that she's an amazing cook is far more enticing than one who claims to be amazing in the sack.

Miss_Wats0n · Answer

It is important for nourishment as well as I am a foodie. So food is a 10/10

hahahmm · Answer

Depends on the food supply. If the food supply runs out it's a lot more important than if there's piles of food everywhere.

Anyhow, I like to have nicely prepared food, properly presented most of the time. I take my time eating. Think it's part of how I stay fit.
