I think this should be discussed from the origin of art. There are five classic theories about the origin of art: representative theories, Expressionism, Game Theory, Witchcraft Theory and Labor Theory. Later, it was added with multiple determinism (this theory is more in line with many people's habit of thinking in many ways). These six theories elaborated the reasons of art in detail.

there is a very important premise to synthesize the origins of these six theoretical arts, that is, people still have extra time for activities after ensuring their survival, and in the final analysis, food is to fill their stomachs and survive.

When human beings have the ability to survive in this predatory world, they think about beauty based on imitation of nature, reverence for nature, or the playful nature of human beings, and more and more "games" in their spare time are endowed with more connotations.

Painting, music, sculpture, drama, literature, architecture and movies can all be enjoyed and entertained in people's spare time, and food can only be endowed with the connotation of satisfying people's appetite. Some people say that architecture is also to meet people's living needs. At the beginning of human civilization, architecture may indeed have only one function. However, with the development of human civilization, architecture has been given more and more meanings. Even practical buildings in wartime, such as the Great Wall, have become symbols of national culture, while food has not yet developed to give more connotations and spirits.

and I personally think that once a thing rises to the artistic level, it will be added with too much value. As a necessary thing for human survival, increasing its value will be seriously divorced from the essence of human existence. Nowadays, there are indeed many foods with very high value. Their high value is not caused by the connotation, but by the production cost or the scarcity of workers themselves. Although this kind of food has high value, it can meet some people's needs beyond survival, but it does not have high spiritual value and will not be listed as one of several major arts.
