Every day we must eat. At the least, we eat three times a day. What I want to ask is do we eat to live or live to eat? What's the differences??

Well, it's absolutely right that that doesn't mean you can't enjoy what you eat. We can enjoy what we eat but with the right amount. We can't just simply eat and eat and eat until we're bloated.

We should eat to live and not live to eat. There is a big difference between the two phrases. When we say we eat to live then it means we eat and drink whatever is necessary to keep us alive and healthy. We do not eat more on the excuse we have not tasted that particular food before. We stop eating or drinking before our stomach becomes distended. Those who live to eat would gorge the food available until they cannot eat anymore. Health to them is unimportant since they say they could not resist tasting this and that. Most of them end up having all sort of diseases.

Taking food is a biological need to support continuity of life.Hunger and appetite are the natural urge to take some food at different interval of time to sustain our body and mind. Food is the essential input to maintain life. But we live on this earth to fulfill several important goals and dreams of life. Living a life of fulfillment means enjoying it to its fullness,in many ways. We do not live to eat only,but to perform many other activities too. Thanks.

I don't think we need to live to eat. We should eat to live because as your statement above, taking food is a biological need to support continuity of life, so we need to maintain our diet so our health doesn't affected by our eating style. Thanks for the response..

We eat to live. Try living without eating and you'll die soon. lol Seriously we need foods and water for nourishment so that we could keep our physical body going. We live to get through our daily lives...you know - study, work, reach our goal, enjoy life...stuff like that so we do not live just to eat. We're human beings.

What I mean is you live just to eat. If possible you wanna eat each and every second in your life. That's what I mean in my statement 'live to eat'. Of course we gonna die if we don't eat but we should practice a balance diet. Not to eat everything and damage our health. Thanks for the response.

Uhh.. In my opinion, you didn't answer my inquiry but whatever, I don't mind. Well, I always eat once a day. Only sometimes I eat more than once. I'm a Muslim so of course I only eat halal foods. Thanks for the response..
