Food
is such an important part of everyone’s life. It is essential for a human body
to survive. If a person does not eat, their bones can start getting eaten away
to become energy and a heart attack is also possible. Food has become
especially important in my health, being busy can make you forget to eat and
neglect your body, which did happen to me. Your body starts to absorb your
bones as energy, and slowly your body can become equivalent to that of a
diabetic. So now not only is food essential for my health, but it has become
one of the most important parts of my life.
I
come from a Dominican family, portions are usually large. We eat food like
rice, beans, roasted pork shoulder, and different forms of plantains. Coming
from a Hispanic heritage, I was taught that food is a very important part of
our culture. When we celebrate anything, food is involved. When I was younger
if I didn't eat my food, I was force fed. Even now that I’m older when I visit
any family members, if I say I’m not hungry, people usually nag me until I do
eat.
