Best Quotes about Food and eating
There is such a thing as food and such a thing as poison. But the damage done by those who pass off poison as food is far less than that done by those who generation after generation convince people that food is poison.
Goodman, Paul
Clearly, some time ago makers and consumers of American junk food passed jointly through some kind of sensibility barrier in the endless quest for new taste sensations. Now they are a little like those desperate junkies who have tried every known drug and are finally reduced to mainlining toilet bowl cleanser in an effort to get still higher.
Bryson, Bill
Sadder than destitution, sadder than a beggar is the man who eats alone in public. Nothing more contradicts the laws of man or beast, for animals always do each other the honor of sharing or disputing each other's food.
Baudrillard, Jean
We are digging our graves with our teeth.
Moffett, Thomas
We may find in the long run that tinned food is a deadlier weapon than the machine-gun.
Orwell, George
I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. I am President of the United States, and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli.
Bush, George
Don't dig your grave with your knife and fork.
Proverb, English
Most of us are either too think to enjoy eating, or too fat to enjoy walking.
Howe, Edgar Watson
More die in the United States from too much food that from too little.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
Woolf, Virginia
Edible. Good to eat and wholesome to digest, as a worm to a toad, a toad to a snake, a snake to a pig, a pig to a man, and a man to a worm.
Bierce, Ambrose
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
If you're going to America, bring your own food.
Lebowitz, Fran
I would like to find a stew that will give me heartburn immediately, instead of at three o clock in the morning.
Barrymore, John
We seldom report of having eaten too little.
Jefferson, Thomas
He who eats alone chokes alone.
Proverb, Arabian
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
Lunch is for wimps.
Stone, Oliver
Yogi ordered a pizza. The waitress asked How many pieces do you want your pie cut? Yogi responded, Four. I don't think I could eat eight.
Berra, Yogi
Coffee should be black as Hell, strong as death, and sweet as love.
Proverb, Turkish
When one has tasted it [Watermelon] he knows what the angels eat.
Twain, Mark
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.
I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead -- not sick, not wounded -- dead.
Allen, Woody
Food probably has a very great influence on the condition of men. Wine exercises a more visible influence, food does it more slowly but perhaps just as surely. Who knows if a well-prepared soup was not responsible for the pneumatic pump or a poor one for a war?
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
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''
I judge a restaurant by the bread and by the coffee.
Lancaster, Burt
God comes to the hungry in the form of food.
Gandhi, Mahatma
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 healthy stomach is nothing if it is not conservative. Few radicals have good digestions.
Butler, Samuel
One should eat to live, not live to eat.
Franklin, Benjamin
Seven's a banquet nine a brawl.
Proverb
I found there was only one way to look thin, hang out with fat people.
Dangerfield, Rodney
To eat is human, to digest divine.
Copeland, Charles T.
It isn't so much what's on the table that matters, as what's on the chairs.
Gilbert, W. S.
It is a difficult matter to argue with the belly since it has no ears.
Cato The Elder
To eat is to appropriate by destruction.
Sartre, Jean-Paul
The act of putting into your mouth what the earth has grown is perhaps your most direct interaction with the earth.
Lappe, Frances Moore
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
Hunger is a good cook.
Proverb
Choose rather to punish your appetites than be punished by them.
Maximus, Tyrius
He who cannot eat horsemeat need not do so. Let him eat pork. But he who cannot eat pork, let him eat horsemeat. It's simply a question of taste.
Khrushchev, Nikita
A cheese may disappoint. It may be dull, it may be naive, it may be oversophisticated. Yet it remains cheese, milk's leap toward immortality.
Fadiman, Clifton
He that eats till he is sick must fast till he is well.
Proverb, Hebrew
A lot of Thanksgiving days have been ruined by not carving the turkey in the kitchen.
Hubbard, Kin
A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart, who looks at her watch.
Beard, James
Gluttony is an emotional escape, a sign something is eating us.
Vries, Peter De
The soup is never hot enough if the waiter can keep his thumb in it.
Collier, William
Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van
Put a knife to thy throat, if you're a man given to appetite.
Bible
Never eat anything you can't lift.
Piggy, Miss
