quotations about food

Fast food, feed me fast
I've been waiting for an aeon
And I just won't last

There are primitivists who contend that one should eat only raw plant foods, conspiracy theorists who view all processed foods as poisonous, food industry toadies who insist that the best foods are engineered, contrarians who are all too ready to subvert the conventional nutritional wisdom, classic conservatives who will go to any lengths to defend the majority opinion against all evidence, and other types. There will come a day when our growing scientific knowledge of human nutrition squeezes out most of the ideologists, but we're not there yet.
