Food's main purpose is nourishment. We need to eat to survive.

However, eating for me is not just about sustenance. I don't know with you guys but I've always viewed eating as an experience. It's an experience in the sense of enjoying and really savoring the food. It's an experience in the sense of it being a communal activity (at least most of the time 'coz I do eat alone sometimes). It's an experience because it can be comforting.

I know we shouldn't eat according to mood. Eating should be regular. But lately, I've found myself turning to food for comfort from all the stress. Somehow I can't write a paper or read without munching on something. I don't know if it is good because I am enjoying or if it is bad because it's not really healthy to be eating all the time. What can I say? It's a guilty pleasure.
