In nutrition, diet is the sum of food consumed by a person or other organism.

The word diet often implies the use of specific intake of nutrition for or reasons (with the two often being related).

Although humans are omnivores, each culture and each person holds some food preferences or some food taboos.

This may be due to personal tastes or ethical reasons.

Individual dietary choices may be more or less healthy.

Convenience food, or tertiary processed food, is food that is commercially prepared (often through processing) to optimise ease of consumption.

Such food is usually ready to eat without further preparation.

It may also be easily portable, have a long shelf life, or offer a combination of such convenient traits.

Although restaurant meals meet this definition, the term is seldom applied to them.

Convenience foods include ready-to-eat dry products, frozen foods such as TV dinners, shelf-stable foods, prepared mixes such as cake mix, and snack foods.

A meal is an eating occasion that takes place at a certain time and includes specific, prepared food, or the food eaten on that occasion.

The names used for specific meals in English vary greatly, depending on the speaker's culture, the time of day, or the size of the meal.

In the context of human society, a family (from) is a group of people affiliated either by consanguinity (by recognized birth), affinity (by marriage or other relationship), or co-residence (as implied by the etymology of the English word "family") or some combination of these.

Members of the immediate family may include spouses, parents, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters.

Members of the extended family may include grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, and siblings-in-law.

Sometimes these are also considered members of the immediate family, depending on an individual's specific relationship with them.

Sugar is the generic name for sweet, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food.

There are various types of sugar derived from different sources.

Simple sugars are called monosaccharides and include glucose (also known as dextrose), fructose, and galactose.

The "table sugar" or "granulated sugar" most customarily used as food is sucrose, a disaccharide of glucose and fructose.

Sugar is used in prepared foods (e.g., cookies and cakes) and it is added to some foods and beverages (e.g., coffee and tea).

In the body, sucrose is hydrolysed into the simple sugars fructose and glucose.

Other disaccharides include maltose from malted grain, and lactose from milk.

Longer chains of sugars are called oligosaccharides or polysaccharides.

Some other chemical substances, such as glycerol may also have a sweet taste, but are not classified as sugars.

Low-calorie food substitutes for sugar, described as artificial sweeteners, include aspartame and sucralose, a chlorinated derivative of sucrose.
