Proverb, English

He that eats till he is sick must fast till he is well.

Proverb, French

12.

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

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

22.

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.

Proverb, Turkish

A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart, who looks at her watch.

Beard, James

28.

We seldom report of having eaten too little.

Jefferson, Thomas

29.

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

30.

I found there was only one way to look thin, hang out with fat people.

Dangerfield, Rodney

31.

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.

Hubbard, Kin

34.

To eat is to appropriate by destruction.

Sartre, Jean-Paul

35.

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

36.

We may find in the long run that tinned food is a deadlier weapon than the machine-gun.

Orwell, George

37.

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.

Woolf, Virginia
