Food is obtained from two main sources: plants and animals.
- **Plant-based food**: Includes cereals (rice, wheat), pulses (dal, beans), fruits (mango, banana), and vegetables (potato, spinach).
- **Animal-based food**: Includes milk (from cows, buffaloes), eggs (from hens), and meat (from goats, fish).
- **Regional food habits**: In India, staple foods vary by region. For example, rice is common in South India, while wheat (chapati, roti) is widely eaten in North India.
- **Food processing**: Many food items are processed before consumption, like wheat is ground into flour to make chapati.
