There is any symbolism in food?
Almost every episode, i notice the important role of the meals in the show. I want to know if it's just me, or anybody else thinks the same way. What i think is that food means "humanity". Every scene Doctor Tenma is about to loose his humanity or his goodness (with his obsession of killing Johann) someone offers him something to eat. There's another episode that a child offers a sandwich to Eva, when she's confused with helping Tenma or letting him go to jail. And there's a lot of others examples (the happy times always involves the taste of food, and mainly in the episode of Rosso, when he says "killing is easy, if you can forget the taste of sugar"), but this only happens with good characters. I don't know, maybe it's just my imagination.
