hi there !


Some of the foods we eat come from animals, including beef, veal, lamb, pork, fish and chicken. Other foods come from plants, including rice, wheat, fruit, beans and vegetables.

We also eat food that animals make. For example, chickens produce eggs and cows give milk. Plants produce food too, such as edible fruits. Plant and animal foods are used to make other foods, such as bread and cheese.

Many processed foods use a combination of foods from animal and plant sources. Biscuits are made from flour (food from a plant) while also containing butter and milk (food sourced from an animal).
How we get food from animals Some foods are produced from the flesh or internal organs of animals, such as: beef, lamb, kangaroo, pork and mutton (red meats)chicken and fish (white meats)heart, liver, kidneys and brains (organ meats). Most of these foods come from farmed animals. They are raised until they reach a target weight, then are slaughtered (killed) and butchered (cut up) for us to buy, cook and eat. Some animals, like kangaroos and most fish, are killed or caught in their natural environments.

Other animal foods, such as eggs, milk and honey, are produced by animals over their lifetimes.

Foods from animal source are high in protein, they usually are also high in fat. Vitamin B12 and vitamin D are also present in many animal foods, these vitamins are not found in plant foods.
Cheese is an animal food Cheese is made from milk, so it is also an animal food. Other foods made from milk are butter, cream and yoghurt.
Back to top How we get food from plants Fruit is one of the many foods we get from plants. Other parts of plants we use for food include: leaves and stems – celery, lettuce, silver beetroots – potatoes, carrots, beetroot, cassava, radish, parsnipseeds – wheat, rice, legumes, ground nuts (peanuts), tree nuts (walnuts, almonds). Most plant foods eaten in Australia are produced on farms and orchards, but some are grown in greenhouses.

Foods from plants are packed with many nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Dietary fibre is found only in plants.

The sources of food are broadly classified into two groups, plants and animals and their related products. Plants are a source of a wide variety of nutrients required to keep the human body in perfect working condition. Humans consume everything from fruits, flowers and even the stem of some plants. Leaves and stem-like lettuce, celery, etc; roots of some plants like carrots, beetroot, etc and seeds like wheat, rice, etc. All food come from plants, even the animals depend on plants. Hence, the source of all food in this world are plants, directly or indirectly. The reason one is advised to consume fruits and vegetables on a daily basis is because it is a source of immense nutrients.

Animal products are used as food directly or indirectly. In the sense, one might consume the muscles or organs of the animals which are the direct method or rely on its products like egg, milk and dairy products, honey and so on. Animal products too are a rich source of nutrients. The food chain is composed of exactly these animals starting with organisms that use the energy of the sun to the apex at which organisms that are predators and rely on producers.It is of great importance that one understands where or what their source of food is. Rice comes from plants, and curry might depend on whether it is a vegetarian dish or a non-vegetarian one. A balanced diet is a necessity if one wants to lead a healthy life. And this balanced diet involves different carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, fats and so on. So how does one ensure that the balanced diet is maintained? The first step is to know where do they come from so that we can understand the different nutrients provided by that particular item of food.
