"A human being is primarily a bag for putting food into; the other functions and faculties may be more godlike, but in point of time they come afterwards. A man dies and is buried, and all his words and actions are forgotten, but the food he has eaten lives after him in the sound or rotten bones of his children. I think it could be plausibly argued that changes of diet are more important than changes of dynasty or even of religion…Yet it is curious how seldom the all-importance of food is recognized. You see statues everywhere to politicians, poets, bishops, but none to cooks or bacon-curers or market gardeners."

— In The Road to Wigan Pier, George Orwell digs straight to the core. We all eat, suckling from birth until the day we die. Our need for food connects and divides us, access to it or desperation for it moves the world. Politics, poetry, crime, civilization, revolution are built on plates of food.  (via eatdrinkdie)

Okay so it turns out the bus leaves ample time for looking at tumblr—and this quote, and this blog, which we recommend. I’m surrounded by people eating Arby’s.
