WHY DO WE EAT?

Human beings eat a lot of food. A typical human eats over a thousand pounds of food every year.

Why do we eat so much? There are two big reasons: building blocks and fuel.

Your body uses the building blocks in two different ways. When you are growing, you are adding new building blocks to your body. Your body is also repairing itself – taking out old blocks and replacing them with new ones.

The building blocks of your body are protein, and that’s why you are supposed to eat plenty of it. If you don’t eat enough protein, it is hard to grow.
