Bible | Eating The ancient Hebrews would not eat with the Egyptians (Gen. 43:32). In the time of our Lord they would not eat with Samaritans (John 4:9), and were astonished that he ate with publicans and sinners (Matt. 9:11). The Hebrews originally sat at table, but afterwards adopted the Persian and Chaldean practice of reclining (Luke 7:36-50). Their principal meal was at noon (Gen. 43:16; 1 Kings 20:16; Ruth 2:14; Luke 14:12). The word "eat" is used metaphorically in Jer. 15:16; Ezek. 3:1; Rev. 10:9. In John 6:53-58, "eating and drinking" means believing in Christ. Women were never present as guests at meals (q.v.). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |
Dream Interpretation | To dream of eating alone, signifies loss and melancholy spirits. To eat with others, denotes personal gain, cheerful environments and prosperous undertakings. If your daughter carries away the platter of meat before you are done eating, it foretells that you will have trouble and vexation from those beneath you or dependent upon you. The same would apply to a waiter or waitress. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Eating is human activity of intaking food and its digestion. Eating mostly is to eat meal but can happen in between mealtime.Eating is individual activity; unless you are infant, individual grabs foodstuff and bring it to his mouth.
Being hungry is feeling the physiological need to eat. Having appetite is desiring the act of eating (also used figuratively). Other reasons for starting a meal at a particular time are habit, agreement with others, or not having an oppportunity later on.
Eating can be very emotional. Some people having trouble with eating are called eating disorder.
Lack of available food can cause famine or starvation. Some people intentionally take no food for certain period of time mostly for religous reasons.
See also food, potluck, restaurant.
Meal is coarsely ground grain or other seed, coarser than flour.

Because Japanese-Americans tend to marry among themselves, factors other than genetic must be examined for cancer incidence. Diet and other lifestyle variations are being studied. Japanese who emigrate to California and change their lifestyles, seem to have an increased incidence of colon cancer.
