Living is not merely for eating in terms of life's purpose. However, humans must first satisfy their need for food to survive, making eating the simplest physiological behavior for humanity. The saying "Food is the first necessity of the people" refers to the fact that diet is the driving force for the maintenance, continuation, and development of human life. Throughout history, the endless struggles between darkness and light, conservatism and reform, were often forced by the issue of food. The most obvious example is China's reform that began in 1978, which was purely triggered by the need to solve the food problem of the Chinese people. Its purpose was very clear: first, to solve the hunger problem of the Chinese people. Later, the goal of doubling the economy and achieving a moderately prosperous society by the end of the century was also for eating—to eat better. Twenty years of reform and opening-up have brought unprecedented development to Chinese society, one of the most obvious signs being that the food of the Chinese people has become so diverse and rich. The Chinese did not stop at meeting basic needs but instead sprinted forward on the path of eating.
