“To have no food for our heads no food for our hearts, no food for our activity, is that nothing?”
Cassandra (1860)
Context: To have no food for our heads no food for our hearts, no food for our activity, is that nothing? If we have no food for the body, how do we cry out, how all the world hears of it, how all the newspapers talk of it, with a paragraph headed in great capital letters, DEATH FROM STARVATION! But suppose one were to put a paragraph in the Times, Death of Thought from Starvation, or Death of Moral Activity from Starvation, how people would stare, how they would laugh and wonder! One would think we had no heads nor hearts, by the total indifference of the public towards them. Our bodies are the only things of any consequence.
“If food is poetry, is not poetry also food?”
"Writers’ Hunger: Food as Metaphor," New York Times (19 August 1986)
“Food is music to the body, music is food to the heart.”
“The right to food has to become the right to good food”
