"He catches fish-that's his occupation"

 This work shows a person fishing. Many people all over the World do earn their living by  engaging in the search, for food to sell to other people. Therefore, food is a great source of employment and has helped many countries reduce on the levels of unemployment.

"Welcome Back Home"

Food is a spring of joy and happiness. Many a times a warm welcome is awarded to a person who comes home with something to activate our stomachs. This warm welcome is an expression of inner felt joy and happiness.
