Food and nutrition are not the same thing, although they are closely linked. Food refers to the physical act of eating - what and how much we consume. Nutrition, on the other hand, describes the quality and composition of food in terms of its nutritional value and its impact on health. While eating satisfies hunger, nutrition refers to the long-term supply of nutrients the body needs to stay healthy. In short, food is the process, nutrition is the content and the effect.
