It has been an
unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a
pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable
necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is
uneatable without it. There are some things in every country
that you must be born to endure; and another hundred years
of general satisfaction with Americans and America could not
reconcile this expatriate to cranberry sauce, peanut butter,
and drum majorettes.

Upscale people
are fixated with food simply because they are now able to
eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they
don't get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of
calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings
begin with melted goats cheese... get up at dawn to run,
break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the
evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.
-- Barbara Ehrenreich
1941-, American Author,
Columnist
I can reason
down or deny everything, except this perpetual Belly: feed
he must and will, and I cannot make him respectable.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803-1882, American Poet,
Essayist
Let the stoics
say what they please, we do not eat for the good of living,
but because the meat is savory and the appetite is keen.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803-1882, American Poet,
Essayist
When a man's
stomach is full it makes no difference whether he is rich or
poor.
-- Euripides
BC 480-406, Greek Tragic Poet
