Actually FOOD is the number one serious thing in the world.
Starvation on a side, food – waste on the other side. Is there a topic more serious than this?
Food is fun when friends come together and play around the kitchen counter while making the meal.
It is fun when people of the same family or from the same world – although different countries – toast together to the life.
It is fun when, experimenting and without knowing what is happening in the food, the final result is just…amazing.
It’s fun when you witness the miracle of life that blooms in a dough of bread or a – apparently – weak leaf peeks out from under the earth.
It is fun when you realize that, unexpectedly, you are able to temper chocolate and create a sweet gift for your loved one.
Food is fun on many other occasions. So many that we can say that food is fun every day.
It is the way we celebrate feasts and when we consume our daily meal.
It is fun with the pleasure of its colors, aromas through the seasons.

It is fun in the markets all over the world, where vendors propose their goods with smiles and immagination.
The food can be funny and ridiculus , as well, although it should not be:
It is funny when it is full of hidden preservatives that “preserve” it in your body until you become a whale.
It is funny when in name of production and globalization (terms often in antithesis), most of the entire world population is at risk of starvation and a little percentage dare to waste.
It is funny when natural foods are transformed into not-natural foods.
It is funny when on the northern emisphere, you want grapes at table at spring.
It is funny when, not respeting food, we don’t respect oursleves.
