Explanation / Answer

This was a good nice version than that which was found in the Bible, ‘your body is a temple’. On the another hand Buddha was providing similar advice: ‘keep the body in good health’. This insight presents as a human truism; it is reasonable to summarize that even from the past beginning of time, primordial man have been able to link good health with good foods (I know this does not reconcile evolution with the current obesity epidemic).
Importantly, it is being found that the difference between recognising that what we eat is what we are that what you eat constructs who we are. We symbolically consume identity through our drink and food choices – more specifically, by what we don't drink or eat...
Eating is an actually personal act. What we eat food and communicates to others our culture, beliefs, social backgrounds and experiences. In this today western world, testament about how we think and about who we are, increasingly we join fashionable dietary tribes, where we temporarily see within before moving onto any other greener fields. Who hasn’t tried on for size like a: vegetarian, non-vegetarian, paleo, vegan, piscatarian, halal, Atkins, etc.; or the favourites, those that hoe just they hold their fork and knife high and find momentary solace..
All of dietary choices have something in very common; they are being opposed to being an omnivore. As apes, even if they are much civilized ones, but omnivores. In its broadest term, an omnivore can eat everything. Uniquely perhaps amongst animals, while we always digest the basically two main food groups (plants and animals), there are choice. All of the dietary-tribes mentioned are defined by the rejection of some aspect of ‘everything’. There are many such reasons when we have to seriously exclude foods from our diet, from basic health needs to deep religious and cultural beliefs.
This is across anthropological, physiological thinking that food affect our culture and identity how the meaning is expressed. Something that all humans share is also something that we use to differentiate ourselves on a daily basis.

As when I was a child I used to dislike many food items used to avoid them to eat but as we grow up due to sudden situation, circumstances and all we have to be used to it to remain there..
