Food is something we all share…all across the planet! It binds us together across cultural lines and helps create a bonding experience. Food brings people together.

Food is More Than Survival

For millennia, food has brought people together: friends, family, and even strangers. It bridges cultural gaps and gives everyone common ground.

It’s so much more than feeding our bodies. It’s also about feeding our souls.

So what is it about food that encourages humans to gather together to share a meal? First, it’s cultural. Second, it’s sociological.

When people eat together they share their favorite cultural traditions. They share the food they love with people they care about. Food enables us to teach each other about our formative traditions.

Family meals especially provide a bonding time for parents and their children. Families bond over shared meals, learning about one another together.

While food is individual based on what a person’s personal preferences are, it is also very social.

Most people eat together, and that is a terrific time to open communication and share a special moment in time together.
