Food Taboo

Famous quotes containing the words food and/or taboo:

“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)

“A man might well pray that he may not taboo or curse any portion of nature by being buried in it.”
