You're off to a good start anyway

Food is...

Emotional...love, anger, nurturing, deprivation
Bonding...bring people together
Tradition...passing down from generation to generation
Overrated...by snobby chefs looking down their noses at others
Underrated...by people who don't take the time to learn the craft
Health...if done right
Death...if done wrong
