Here’s some food for thought
There is no love sincerer than the love of food. - George Bernard Shaw (1856 – 1950) — an Irish playwright who is the only person to be awarded both a Nobel Prize for Literature and an Oscar
The whole of nature, as has been said, is a conjugation of the verb to eat, in the active and in the passive.
- William Ralph Inge (1860 – 1954) – an English author, Anglican priest, professor of divinity at Cambridge, and Dean of St Paul’s Cathedral
That’s something I’ve noticed about food: whenever there’s a crisis if you can get people to eating normally things get better.

Food is our common ground, a universal experience.
- James Beard (1903-1985) – an American chef and food writer Food is the most primitive form of comfort. - Sheilah Graham (1904-1988) – an English-born American nationally syndicated gossip columnist during Hollywood’s “Golden Age”
Food to a large extent is what holds a society together and eating is closely linked to deep spiritual experiences.
- Peter Farb (1929-1980) – an American author, anthropologist, linguist, ecologist, naturalist, and spokesman for conservation Food is a central activity of mankind and one of the single most significant trademarks of a culture.

If there is anything we are serious about, it is neither religion nor learning, but food.
- Lin Yutang (1895 – 1976) – a Chinese writer and inventor who is known for his compilations and translations of classic Chinese texts into English
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
