WHAT IS FOOD?

Food gives us theenergywe need for everything we do. We cannot live without food. It helps us think, work, and run around. Eating the right amount of good food keeps us healthy. In food technology, we study how good food products are made. There are many processes involved. We find out how people grow, process, package, and sell food products. We also learn how to prepare and cook food that is healthy, safe, and good to eat.

Knowledge of food technology helps these cooks produce safe, healthy meals in their restaurant.
