What Is Diet?
In nutrition, diet is the sum of food consumed by a person or other organism. The word diet often implies the use of a specific intake of nutrition for health or weight-management 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.
