Topic : Eat to live or Live to Eat ?
The topic is evergreen ..
Both types of people populate our world and some find it fashionable to say that they eat to live, and there are the others who feel sorry for those who don't gorge themselves with whatever good food comes their way .. value systems are a changing these days, though, and along with so many things that people did not dare to own till yesterday, are flaunting them today.
"Live to Eat"
This statement means "living for the purpose to eat".
Thus that means that food has to be "worth living for".
I would agree that food is worth living for, because as long as you eat, you will live to eat time and time again.
Is this making any sense?
I think you confuse some things here.....eat to live means in my opinion that you just eat food to survive (eat to live). Live to eat means to enjoy food to be healthy and enjoy full with food...and what you are kinda mentioning all the time is to live for fat food, for eating yourself full....and beyond that some people have genetic diseases that cause adipose. Live to eat in my opinion doesn't mean what you say, to eat and eat and eat, it means what you said: eat amazing food with family and friends.
When I think of eat to live, I think of eating to live well, not eating to just stay alive. To really live well is to enjoy life and all it has to offer. It seems that more recently in America living to eat has turned into eating whatever, whenever, no matter the consequences. Therefore I would have to stand by my theory of eat to live well. I believe that eating well helps us to do all of the fun physical activities we do on a regular basis. It appears we are arguing the same argument from different cultural perspectives.
I have seen the devastating affects that the live to eat, and eat, and eat attitude has created and it is not very healthy or safe. This has swayed my attitude and outlook on what eat to live and live to eat actually looks like on a culture.
Eat to live well, enjoy life for as long as possible, and bring your friends and family closer together. Don't just eat to stay alive, and don't stay alive to just eat.

Germany is a highly industrialized country. In such a country, many will think its people lead a luxurious life.
When we arrived at Hamburg , my colleagues walked into the restaurant, we noticed that a lot of tables were empty. There was a table where a young couple was having their meal. There were only two dishes and two cans of beer on the table. I wondered if such simple meal could be romantic, and whether the girl will leave this stingy guy.
There were a few old ladies on another table. When a dish is served, the waiter would distribute the food for them, and they would finish every bit of the food on their plates.
As we were hungry, our local colleague ordered more food for us.When we left, there was still about one third of un-consumed food on the table.
When we were leaving the restaurant, the old ladies spoke to us in English, we understood that they were unhappy about us wasting so much food.
"We paid for our food, it is none of your business how much food we left behind," my colleague told the old ladies. The old ladies were furious. One of them immediately took her hand phone out and made a call to someone. After a while, a man in uniform from Social Security organisation arrived. Upon knowing what the dispute was, he issued us a 50 Euro fine. We all kept quiet.
The officer told us in a stern voice, "ORDER WHAT YOU CAN CONSUME, MONEY IS YOURS BUT RESOURCES BELONG TO THE SOCIETY. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS IN THE WORLD WHO ARE FACING SHORTAGE OF RESOURCES. YOU HAVE NO REASON TO WASTE RESOURCES."
The mindset of people of this rich country put all of us to shame. WE REALLY NEED TO REFLECT ON THIS. We are from country which is not very rich in resources. To save face, we order large quantity and also waste food when we give others a treat.

THE LESSON IS:- THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT CHANGING OUR BAD HABITS. Expecting acknowledgment, that u read the message and forward to your contacts.
