We live in a world where people are always busy with their hectic schedules and trying to meet their dead lines. Be it students or employees at a corporate company everyone looks forward to a food break. The population of the earth is more than seven billion imagine the number of complexions, opinions, languages, traditions, etc that vary, there are a lot of communication barriers between people but there is only one thing that no one cold deny, food.
From our parents trying to get us to eat something healthy to our grandparents getting us things our parents wouldn’t buy for us. Our partners throwing parties with all the food we like and our friends getting us our favorite snacks. Everyone’s love language is food. Not all of us are expressive but we still feel the need to show how important a person is to us through something and when we bring them the food that they like it is very much appreciated.
A gift that you think they might like or they might use, sometimes turns out to be useless but food is always the correct guess. Let’s say there is an MNC conference and all the important delgates meet at a place to discuss business deals but at the end of the day all of them look for some suggestions in the buffet from one another and that is beautiful. If you ask a mother what is the most important thing to her after her family she might probably say the plastic containers she uses in the kitchen.
There are more than a couple hundrerd cuisines in the world and there are restaurants of different cuisines in every country, we as people are very curious when it comes to our food choices so we do explore a lot. Some say food is a form of art and a form of love as well. It is also a way to express your traditions and culture through the diversity in the process of cooking different dishes and sometimes the same dishes but with different ways.
Ever since the pandemic we have been restricted to a very few options in food which we are obviously not used to. Before the breakout we used to get whatever we like but now we eat whatever we can make. But, our mother or our family or our partner trying toput in an effort for us to enjoy our favourite food is also a way of expressing how important we are to them. No one would go through hours of standing preperations and then cooking the food for someone umimportant.
We all have deadlines wrapped around our hands and constantly try to get rid of them to be relaxed, to try a new thing, in this process we forget that our food is important so left with no other alternative we order our food from a restaurant and that comes in with a plastic wrapping. Our dependency on plastic for keeping our food warm is totally understandable but using high density plastic would cause less harm to the environement as they can reused more.
Next time when confused of gifiting an important someone in your life don’t hesitate to gift them their favorite snack and watch their face glow up. If all the above mentioned things don’’t prove food is universal communication barrier breaker we don’t know what will!
