You are what what you eat eats.

MICHAEL POLLAN

In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto


No matter what we weigh, those of us who are compulsive eaters have anorexia of the soul. We refuse to take in what sustains us. We live lives of deprivation.

GENEEN ROTH

Eating, and hospitality in general, is a communion, and any meal worth attending by yourself is improved by the multiples of those with whom it is shared. Animals eat alone, but even then not always. The first thing monkeys did when they became humans was to gather around the campfire to celebrate, perhaps a little prematurely.

JESSE BROWNER

Eating is a major part of our first relationship with another human being. Whether we are breast or bottle fed, we all have another human being who must deal with our need for nourishment from the very start. So eating is about need, nourishment, pleasure, and feelings, but most of all it is about our relationship with other human beings.

ANITA BOHENSKY

Binge Compulsive Eating Workbook for Kids & Teens


Eating is a socially acceptable way of taking time for ourselves. All else is defined as indulgence. Or selfish or unnecessary or a waste of time. We all need plunges into oblivion.

GENEEN ROTH

Breaking Free from Emotional Eating


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.

When it comes to eating, you can sometimes help yourself more by helping yourself less.

RICHARD ARMOUR

attributed, Sura's Quotable Quotes, Adages and Sayings


This much thou hast taught me: that I should learn to take food as medicine. But during that time when I pass from the pinch of emptiness to the contentment of fullness, it is in that very moment that the snare of appetite lies baited for me.

AUGUSTINE

Confessions


When engaged in eating, the brain should be the servant of the stomach.
