For a distance runner, food is a source of energy before a workout.  It is vital nutrition during the long run.  It is a critical aspect of recovery following hard workouts.  On the other hand, food is so much more than macromolecules.  As much as food feeds our bodies, a meal can feed our mind and soul.  There is something about getting together over coffee, drinks, or a meal that draws people close.  When bonding over food, how important is the food?  Because food is more than just fuel.
