Famous quotes containing the word food:

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

    “One farmer says to me, “You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;” and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
