What is more important than food?

Assuming your needs for shelter and food and the other necessities of life are fulfilled, what is more important that food, to you? What is less important? In other words, how far out of your way are you willing to go to get the food you enjoy?

I’d rather go to a restaurant than a movie. I’d rather buy the best ingredients than try to skimp in order to save money. I’d rather save money on almost anything else before I cut back my food spending. I’ll pay more to go to better restaurants and to get better meals. Food is important. Very important. It is probably the last item I am willing to cut corners on.

Computers, theater, cars, and many other things (but not education) are things I’d cut back on before I cut back on food.

Where is food on your list of priorities?
