Eating a meal with friends and families has always been an opportunity to share ideas. Food is grown, harvested, prepared, and served all for this social gathering to exist; a point in ones day where the biological needs of ones survival can be temporarily set aside and a celebration of life can occur.  Bigger questions can be posed, connections can be made, networks expanded.

 

In order for any network to grow, biological needs must first be met. Babies learn how to express these needs for food and sleep and it is clearly seen.  Yet what drives humanity are the needs that surface after survival has become a sure thing. What are these needs? These are what are discussed around the dinner table.
