Popular quotes about Eating! Wisdom and inspiration are here!
I think a lot of people get into what they're eating. Yes, it's important, but at some point, let's think about what we're feeling.

I think it's good to do a bit of everything, but to just notice how you're feeling when you wake up in the morning.
Caroline DhavernasEverything we eat begins with a plant turning solar energy into carbohydrates. Everything. Whether we're eating meat or eating vegetables, it all begins there. So I'm always interested in taking things back to the beginning.
Michael PollanThis work, though it deals only with eating and drinking, which are regarded in the eyes of our supernaturalistic mock-culture as the lowest acts, is of the greatest philosophic significance and importance...

Genevieve NnajiThis isn't animal experimentation, where you an imagine some proportionate good at the other end of the suffering. This is what we feel like eating. Tell me something: Why is taste, the crudest of our sense, exempted from the ethical rules that govern our other sense? If you stop and think about it, it's crazy. Why doesn't a horny person has as strong a claim to raping an animal as a hungry one does to killing and eating it?

She didn't care if I lost the sandwich - she wanted that brown bag back. She used to give me artichoke sandwiches.

And if He never sent them consolation, they would still bless and praise Him.
Thomas a KempisSince Iโve been on my own, Iโve been eating a lot of popcorn, cereal, instant noodles, and snack bars. I have a hot plate in my bedroom, a microwave, and a small fridge. Thatโs the kind of kitchen I know how to get around in.
Karen Marie MoningMale domination, and the low and stigmatised status of women, cause teenage girls to engage in punishment of their bodies through eating disorders and self-mutilation. There is increasing evidence that woman-hating Western cultures are toxic to girls and very harmful to their mental health. It is, perhaps, not surprising, therefore, that there seem to be some girls baling out and seeking to upgrade their status.

Jake ShieldsCan anything be more disgusting than to hear people called 'educated' making small jokes about eating ham, and showing themselves empty of any real knowledge as to the relation of their own social and religious life to the history of the people they think themselves witty in insulting?

Jonathan GoldsteinIt's hard to believe that you did so many drugs for so long. That's what I find really hard. And didn't really consider it. It was eating and drinking and taking drugs and having sex. It was just part of life.

And it was in that, in that finally landing in myself that I really discovered the world in my body.

I was like, "Wait, for Alex, the manipulative drug-smuggling lesbian girl?!," and they were like, "Yeah."
Laura PreponOne day there springs up the desire for money and for all that money can provide โ the superfluous, luxury in eating, luxury in dressing, trifles.
