Judging from what I have in my refrigerator, it would seem that we use food as a source of enhancer for other food. For example, scallions and ginger: when I see these two things, I do not think that it's something we eat, rather this is something that we put in a dish, and then toss out. And I don't think that this only applies to my family because I've seen many chefs on the Food Network, talking about using certain types of food to add "texture" or "heat." A lot of the food that we use are not the food we consume. It just feels like America and the way that its people live their lives, are drifting further away from life. We have moved so far away from the basic needs and from what is essential, that we treasure things that are not necessarily significant to our survival. We long value food that helps us survive, but we value flavor that makes us taste something pleasurable for a brief moment.
