Using Food as Information to Improve Health and Well-Being
Dr Michael S. Fenster | Independent Media Institute – TRANSCEND Media Service, 11 May 2026

Food is not just fuel; it is not merely a list of nutrients. Meals carry aroma, texture, memory, and meaning. Cultural traditions shape how foods are prepared, combined, and shared. Emotional states influence appetite and response. These elements are not superfluous add-ons to dietary health; they are part of how the body interprets what we eat.
