Like everything else there are grey areas here too. As a child we were taught food is scared because people put efforts into it over years. In fact we uttered a prayer that meant "Food is God and consuming is worship." But I strongly disagree with that when people talk about food in train. I travelled in the general/sleeper classes often and so many times people would generously offer food and then steal your belonging because the food was spiked. A lot of families would carry their gas stoves in the train and fucking cook food in the running train which is a fire hazard. It was as if these people would not eat outside food for one day. People fought, got violent when confronted. Today most trains have pantry cars and an amazing food culture of railway stations that changes every few 100 miles. I would say enjoy that.
