Famous quotes containing the word food:

    “I believe that every man who has ever been earnest to preserve his higher or poetic faculties in the best condition has been particularly inclined to abstain from animal food, and from much food of any kind.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms 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.”
    —Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)

    “Most vegetarians I ever see looked enough like their food to be classed as cannibals.”
    —Finley Peter Dunne (1867–1936)
