Peace, happiness, and health are the three prime goals of all human beings. These in turn, give them strength, stamina, achievements, and status in society. Attainment of material and spiritual success of human beings can not be realized if their basic or biological needs including eating, drinking, excreting etc are not accomplished. Food and drink have been basic to our existence. Although food and drink are unequivocally essential for our physical survival, we do not always regard food and drink in terms of provider of energy for the sustenance of our physical body alone. In fact, food and drink convey many meanings, and help us in meeting a number of personal, social, economic, and cultural needs. Therefore, the meaning and definition of food and drink are contextual, temporal and culture specific. At the ideological level, every society or culture has its own belief, notion, attitude, knowledge, taste and perception about food and non-food, drink and non-drink, sacred food and polluted food, superior drink and inferior drink etc, which are rooted in the framework of cultural logic of specific society or community. Similarly, at the manifestational or operational level, different societies have their institutional mechanisms that help the members of the society in meeting food and drink needs in accordance with their ideological framework and material resources.
