This overview is concerned with FOOD. Other overviews explore SWALLOW or to EAT, DRINK, IMBIBE, ALCOHOL and other related ideas.
FOOD is a broad idea, in the sense that all elements needed by an organism, including oxygen are NUTRIENTS that NURTURE or NURSE NATURE. A simpler way is to focus on COMESTIBLE as in COMEDOR from Latin COMEDERE for to EAT thus SWALLOW. COMEDOR in Spanish is for dining room. In medicine COMEDO refers to skin pimples or swollen dermal secretary glands akin to those seen in ACNE.
FOOD generally conveys ideas of SOLID nutrients, such as FLESH or MEAT or CARNE favored by CARNIVORES. In a broader sense, CARNAL pleasures also relate to CARNIVAL.
Implicitly, solid foods require CHEWING or GNAWING. To GNAW or chew, points to Latin GNATHOS or JAW or MANDIBLE. MicroGNATHIA is a medical way to refer to a small CHIN or MENTON in Spanish. MENTOplastia refers to a surgical intervention to render chins more attractive. ProGNATHIA refers to a large jaw causing a prominent chin as those of many members of the royal Habsburg house caused, in their case, by an autosomal dominant gene mutation.
NUTRIENTS that can be SUCKED, POURED or SIPPED as in the case of PORRIDGE or SOUPS served for SUPPER are viewed somewhat differently than solid nutrients because they require less chewing or MASTication.
MAST has to do with MAMMARY or BREAST glands and MASTitis and MASTECTOMY refer to inflammation and resection of MAST or BREAST glands.
Those who favor VEGETARIAN regimes often claim to derive VIGOR from such diets. Consumers of FRUits may claim that such preference is more FRUgal than those of VORACIOUS omniVOROUS counterparts.
Regardless of the above, moderate feEDing habits foster better growth and health, a term rooted the Latin word EDERE for EDIBLE and related to PANacea as if to imply that PAN or bread is a health food. In this spirit, we note that CERES points to CEREAL which pays tribute to her as a CEREbral goddess.
