Do any of the alien races in Dragon Ball display unique food culture? There are observations that can be made, at least:
>Saiyans have a natural proclivity for meat-centric diets, likely because the protein stimulates muscle growth
>Frieza is shown drinking wine several times, likely as a status symbol since wine tends to be viewed as high class and regal, and it's also red wine which could symbolize his bloodthirsty nature beneath the facade of elitism
>Namekians only drink water, presumably to facilitate photosynthesis which likely is the reason they're able to train and increase their power, but they're also shown to be capable of eating for pleasure, suggesting they have taste buds and may gather to eat together for symbolic or communal purposes
>Beerus and Whis are gourmands, but angels are inherently neutral and don't even technically exist without a GoD to attend, which means Beerus probably influenced Whis in this regard
>Champa is shown to enjoy food as well, but is overweight from consuming too many sugary and fatty foods, contrasting Beerus' more refined palate
>Beerus also dislikes too much sugar in his food, to the point where he destroyed half a planet because his drink was too sugary, which might suggest a culture of excess that he wanted to break from
>Jiren is shown to love feasting on cock, symbolizing his homosexual nature and his inherent worthlessness
What do you think, scholars?
