Answer:

There are two sources of food – plants and animals. All of the food we eat comes from either of these two. The processed food we eat in our daily lives (like chips, cakes, pizzas, sandwiches etc) is a combination of various ingredients that are sourced from either plants or animals.

Plants as a Source of Food

Much of the food we eat comes from plants, trees, crops, bushes, leaves and sometimes even roots. The most obvious examples of the foods we source from plants are fruits and vegetables. All of the fruits and vegetables grow on plants.

Another such example of food from plants are crops. These are rice, wheat, maize, millets, barley etc. which are the seeds of the crop plants. After we grom them, they are harvested. The majority of processed food like flour, bread, biscuits etc we consume is sourced from crop plants.

Animals as a Source of Food

Not all of our food comes from plants. A good portion of the food we eat comes from animals, mostly cattle. Cattle are farmed animals, which are specifically raised to be butchered for our food requirements. There are a few animals that are hunted (killed in their natural habitat) like deer or rabbits or even kangaroos (especially in Australia).

Some examples of such meat and their sources are

Chicken (poultry)

Bacon/pork which comes from pigs

Mutton which is from lambs

Venison from deer

Beef from cows and buffalos

Chevon which is goat meat

Another source of food is seafood. This is fishes and other sea creatures like crabs, lobsters, oysters etc that we catch. They too are consumed by humans and are an important source of food in coastal regions especially.
