What are you talking about??? 
Food is there not only to feed us, but also exists as a form of pleasure, absolutely. My mother is French, and boy can she cook amazing dishes: saute'd veal in a cognac truffle sauce with a side of wild mushroom ravioli, flourless individual chocolate cake with pistacchio ice cream, vichyssoise, etc... And, by the way, my mom is tall and thin, so it's not like you're gorging yourself her, you're enjoying a sensory experience... To say that food is there just to feed you is like saying your place exists only to shelter you. It denies the basic human desire for self expression and creativity. I'm vegan, so it's a bit of a challenge for me to feed myself, but I manage to make tasty and healthy organic dishes.

Expensive, overrated and pointless. Normal food is fine. And please don't mention ethics.
Food just makes me feel sick half the time. I had to get some Ranitidine on prescription because of the sickness, severe indigestion (to the point that its hard to breathe and the acid feels like its dissolving my whole body) etc etc. I'm not too bad now and I went running this morning, but I can tell you, eating properly is a struggle. I can feel bile in my throat right now, and I've only had a glass of milk to help me sleep.
