Is the answer to happiness actually hidden in the food that we consume, each and every day?

I believe that true happiness only comes with being comfortable with yourself, family and friends, as well as having something to look forward to each day.Too many people are at loggerheads with their job, family members or don't have a reason to get up in the morning, so food is often used as a substitute to make them feel happy or for something to do. This is especially true of the unemployed (often through no fault of their own) so fast food acts as a comforter and fills in the day. Some people also do not have a family history of being brought up on homemade foods, and without blame, have no idea how to cook healthy, fulfilling meals.This perpetuates through the generations. Schools are making inroads to provide young people with the knowledge to cook healthy, balanced meals, but more needs to be done on a community/govt level to equip parents with the same skills. Having said that, a chocolate bar, cake or occasional meal of fish and chips will always bring a smile to most faces !
