Answer 16

Have you not taken biology class yet? We eat food to get energy/sugar out of it.. the more proper word is glucose. We need glucose and energy for our body to perform vital functions, like breathing, your heart pumping, even thinking. That's why your thinking might get kind of hazy if you haven't eaten.

Answer 17

"In general terms, eating (formally, ingestion) is the process of consuming food to provide for the nutritional needs of an animal, particularly their energy requirements and to grow. All animals must eat other organisms in order to survive: carnivores eat other animals, herbivores eat plants, and omnivores consume a mixture of both; see feeding.

While the process of eating varies from species to species, in humans eating is performed by placing food in the mouth, chewing and then swallowing it. Eaten food is then digested."
