Abstract
![CDATA[The act of exchanging food connects human beings with other species, with other human beings across diverse geographical regions, and with a notion of a divine being. Hence, food is an integral part of world history on both biological and cultural levels. Food is the collective noun that we use to describe the vast range of animal and vegetable products that we all consume for nutrition and survival. At its most basic biological level, food is the fuel that is required by human beings and extracted from other organic matter in the form of energy.]]
