I think it's very interesting thing that humanbeings have to eat 3 meals a day,if you want to live,you must eat and eat without ending,however,some people's favorite things to do are eating,i means that live to eat is the most important things in their daily life,but some people eat to live,they are not like eating .mybe jobs and business is the first thing,they are workholic,and often forget to eat food.Eat to live or live to eat?

Live to eat or eat to live?. well i think that people must not really live to eat because that will fall down into gluttony.. too much of something is bad and too much food really is bad for your physical and spiritual health. on the spiritual side too much eating or "living to eat" denies man of the true and real reasons why we live. like we live to love and we live to care. we do not live just to feed ourselves, we live to LIVE LIFE to its fullest. eating to live is the best way to live life because through eating enough food you will nourish you body and enable your body to carry on all the planned actions in your life like being with your family and all that. enough eating brings about good health which is essential to live life fully. well thats it.. that is the way i interpret the question posed by syimiaoa.

We must eat to live. Meals can be good and looked forward to however it is our fuel and not to overdo. Balance in all things. When it beomes living to eat it becomes a problem. Your health can suffer and money can become at issue. It can even affect your job, relationships and mental thinking. So eat to live and treat it as a way to live a good life.

I think its good when you eat to live. I am such a person even there are times in which I eat only ones. It's when I am doing some interesting thing. I wouldn't go for eating until I finish that or when I am too tired.
