why do we need to eat food?

The site Our Papixel food as an idea I have had for quite some time. I wanted to create a site that answered questions like: 

'Why do we eat what we eat? and why do we need to eat food ?'

'What are the origins of our foods?'

This fantastic multitude is the result of thousands of years of trade and cultivation.

To begin with I have tried to create a timeline starting from prehistory until today. From the first loaf of bread until Hellman's mayonnaise. This also includes basics like what our body needs and how fruit, vegetables, and livestock have traveled. Why is it 'our food recipes' then? It is because I want you, my visitors, family's special recipe. It can be grandma's pancakes or uncle Satoshi's fish pastries. I will then study them and put them on a timeline together with analysis. Another objective in this is also to prevent these important links to our past from getting lost.

On our dinner tables, we have food from all over the world, the multitude is staggering. My aim is to explain how customs and dishes have their foundation in factors like trade, migration, religion, and inventions. I have also created a number of pages with related information on this topic.

Does it sound too ambitious? It probably is but I will give it a go anyway. My hope is that with the help of you I can create a great cultural treasure of family recipes! All you have to do is to submit your family's recipe At papixelhub@gmail.com and I will take care of the rest.
