Like most people, I love food. There's a difference between loving food and loving to eat. Most people I've realized that say they love food actually mean they love to eat. Eating can be anything from junk food to fast food. As my food pallet has increased, I've realized more and more the overall difference between loving food and loving to eat. 

"I love food," I would hear from many of my American friends as they wold gobble down a Big Mac or Tyson Chicken sandwich. Food should not just be something we simply consume but something that was made and prepared naturally, beautifully, and clean. If you love food, you want to nurture it. Just like an artist. An artist would never hurry through something, slap a few blobs down and call it art. No, an artist sits there, figures out the meaning and symbolism. They draw or paint a few lines and slowly bring them together. Of course they can do this in a quicker sense depending on how detailed a painting will be, but it's the exact same with food!
