As Mariette DiChristina of Scientific American wrote: “The most intimate (親密的) relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being. Instead, it is between our bodies and our food.”Nowadays, for most people in the world’s wealthiest countries, food is a hobby, an enthusiasm, and even something fashionable.Turn on the TV in the US, UK or France, and you’ll find at least one channel feeding this popular obsession (迷戀).uAnd most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a “foodie”. It’s almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen － however annoying we may find it.But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging (夸耀), many of us forget how much we take food for granted.This is why World Food Day is held each year by the United Nations on Oct 16. The day allows the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization to highlight (強(qiáng)調(diào)) both the progress that has been made against hunger, and the awful amount of progress that still needs to be made.Take Kenya for example. This East African nation has been suffering terrible droughts, some of the worst in recent years. The result is that people are beginning to starve. Children in particular are suffering, with some of them even dying.This may seem shocking to know, especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a pletely different way. But even in developed nations in the West, families on low ines are forced to use food banks － organizations that hand out donated food to those who can’t afford to pay for it themselves.So what can we do on World Food Day? One good way to spend it would be to feel humble and appreciate what we have. After all, food is essential for our survival, but not everyone is as lucky as we are when it es to dinner time.12.
