My priorities in food would be to cook more often and eat out a lot less. My mom bought a huge wooden dinning room table with beautiful chairs and an area rug along with a chandelere for our dinning room. but we only use it on holidays usually the chairs are all tucked in under the table and my cats are spralled across them. my mom and i also eat out for more then 1/2 our meals. which is extreamly expensive. so one priority i would have would to be eating out less and cooking at home more. I eat semi-healthy and I basically eat what ever I am in the mood for so I am not on a diet or trying to change what I put into my body. But I don't eat fast food from chain restaurants like McDonald's or burger king or kfc or anything like that. I have this idea in my head that its healthier not to eat from those places but I don't know if thats actually true, I think it's a physiological thing and I was raised to think that eating from chain fast food places wasn't healthy. I eat a lot of salad when I have enough money but it surprises me how expensive salad is... like 9 bucks! Thats crazy I think I would rather eat something cheaper and more unhealthy: like pizza before I spend 9 and change on a salad. If I have a choice between water and soda or soda and juice I'll probably pick juice or water, because it's supposedly less sugar. Regardless of the sugar content i prefer juice over water and water over soda.
Usually after my typical meal I am not completely full especially at lunch and I really don't enjoy the setting of the deli or restaurant I am usually in at lunch. I much rather eat at a park or a beach if I was close to one. Also the conversation at lunch amongst my friends is dull and superficial a lot of the time. Last year I tended to isolate myself and got to a park and eat where I liked the setting (tress, grass, birds) and I would read but when I tried to eat with people on some days I felt out of place because I wasn't close enough to anyone in particular.
Is food sacred? hrrmm I don't consider it to be sacred. I don't pray before I eat or anything but I think people should be grateful for what they are eating and not take their meals for granted because someone worked hard to grow or prepare what ever it is. I think maybe if people had grown the greens from their salad or the tomatoes for the tomato sauce they are eating they would certainly take their food more seriously. But one of the "luxuries" of the city is that the people who live there are not connected to where their merchandise or commodities come from they don't have the knowledge so they don't have guilt which makes it extremely easy to disconnect themselves from making a change with in the situation. I think for food to be sacred you have to believe that its part of a higher power, but I am not sure.
