Food and eating
I told my doctor I get very tired when I go on a diet, so he gave me pep pills. Know what happened? I ate faster.

Best Quotes about Food and eating
To eat is human, to digest divine.
Copeland, Charles T.
There is only one thing harder than looking for a dewdrop in the dew, and that is fishing for a clam in the clam chowder.
Proverb, New England
When a man's stomach is full it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor.
Euripides
Gluttony is the source of all our infirmities and the fountain of all our diseases. As fire extinguished by an excess of fuel, so is the natural health of the body destroyed by an intemperate diet.
Burton
For much of the female half of the world, food is the first signal of our inferiority. It lets us know that our own families may consider female bodies to be less deserving, less needy, less valuable.
Steinem, Gloria
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.
Cooke, Alistair
The one way to get thin is to re-establish a purpose in life.
Connolly, Cyril
I judge a restaurant by the bread and by the coffee.
Lancaster, Burt
Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van
A gourmet is just a glutton with brains.
Haberman Jr., Phillip H.
The soup is never hot enough if the waiter can keep his thumb in it.
Collier, William
One should eat to live, not live to eat.
Franklin, Benjamin
When one has tasted it [Watermelon] he knows what the angels eat.
Twain, Mark
We may find in the long run that tinned food is a deadlier weapon than the machine-gun.
Orwell, George
For its merit I will knight it, and then it will be Sir-Loin.
Charles II
Most of us are either too think to enjoy eating, or too fat to enjoy walking.
Howe, Edgar Watson
That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbism does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.
Skinner, Cornelia Otis
He who is a slave to his stomach seldom worships God.
Saadi
A woman should never be seen eating or drinking, unless it be lobster salad and Champagne, the only true feminine and becoming viands.
Byron, Lord
God comes to the hungry in the form of food.
Gandhi, Mahatma
We seldom report of having eaten too little.
Jefferson, Thomas
Coffee should be black as Hell, strong as death, and sweet as love.
Proverb, Turkish
It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.
Francis De Sales, St.
He who eats alone chokes alone.
Proverb, Arabian
A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart, who looks at her watch.
Beard, James
I would like to find a stew that will give me heartburn immediately, instead of at three o clock in the morning.
Barrymore, John
Although there is a great deal of controversy among scientists about the effects of ingested food on the brain, no one denies that you can change your cognition and mood by what you eat.
Winter, Arthur
To eat is to appropriate by destruction.
Sartre, Jean-Paul
Want to learn to eat a lot? Here it is: Eat a little. That way, you will be around long enough to eat a lot.
Robbins, Anthony
The flesh endures the storms of the present alone; the mind, those of the past and future as well as the present. Gluttony is a lust of the mind.
Hobbes, Thomas
You can travel fifty thousand miles in America without once tasting a piece of good bread.
Miller, Henry
Hunger is a good cook.
Proverb
Taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse. Those accustomed to it must lead a Spartan life if they are not to go downhill. Hermits have observed, if for only this reason, a frugal diet. For it is only in company that eating is done justice; food must be divided and distributed if it is to be well received.
Benjamin, Walter
I found there was only one way to look thin, hang out with fat people.
Dangerfield, Rodney
Seven's a banquet nine a brawl.
Proverb
Choose rather to punish your appetites than be punished by them.
Maximus, Tyrius
We are digging our graves with our teeth.
Moffett, Thomas
Avoid fresh meats, which angry up the blood. If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts. Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move. Go very light in the vices such as carrying on in society. The social ramble ain't restful. Don't look back. Someone might be gaining on you.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''
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.
Ehrenreich, Barbara
If you're going to America, bring your own food.
Lebowitz, Fran
Worthless people love only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.
Socrates
A good meal ought to begin with hunger.
Proverb, French
It ain't what you eat, but the way how you chew it.
Mcclinton, Delbert
The act of putting into your mouth what the earth has grown is perhaps your most direct interaction with the earth.
Lappe, Frances Moore
A lot of Thanksgiving days have been ruined by not carving the turkey in the kitchen.
Hubbard, Kin
It is a difficult matter to argue with the belly since it has no ears.
Cato The Elder
No man is lonely while eating spaghetti; it requires so much attention.
Morley, Christopher
He that eats till he is sick must fast till he is well.
Proverb, Hebrew
As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it, or leave it.
Hackett, Buddy
Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale.
Schiaparelli, Elsa
