Literature is a food??

Literature??? Base on some books and sites I read, it is the art of written works. For me, I see literature as a food.Literature is a food for the brain, it nourish our brain, because when we read something, we learn. It fills our brain with thoughts and ideas. It is important to us to know something in literature, just like eating food, if you don't eat, you will die, If you don't read, you won't learn.
