Food is a basic necessity of life and the primary source of nutrients for the human body. It's what makes us able to laugh, play, study, exercise, sing, dance, and get a good night's sleep. It powers growth, affects how we look, and determines how much energy we have to accomplish all that we need to get done in life. However, not all foods are equal.
