In all cultures and throughout all history, offering food has been a sign of caring and hospitality. Our mothers made sure we were well fed.
Most people enjoy eating with family and friends, especially on special occasions.
In most religions, food is part of sacred rituals. It seems to be basic caring. If eating is a social event for you, or providing food is one of the common ways of expressing caring in your family, your loss of appetite may be distressing to you and your loved ones. You might enjoy small amounts of home-cooked food, dishes that mean something special to you. However, you should also know that a decrease in appetite is natural and eating less may increase, rather than decrease, comfort.
