My original plan was to do one serious Deep Thought and one funny one on alternate Thursdays, but I quickly found that the only ones that made me think were the Zen ones, and that seemed a little limited.

Otherwise I found quotes like this:

Great eaters and great sleepers are incapable of anything else that is great.  ~Henry IV of France

and

There is no love sincerer than the love of food.  ~George Bernard Shaw, "The Revolutionist's Handbook," Man and Superman

These just aren't very interesting to me. Try to think about them longer than one minute. Impossible.

On the other hand, there are a lot of funny quotes about food out there:

If you ate pasta and antipasto, would you still be hungry?  ~Author Unknown

(Sure sounds like comedian Steven Wright to me.) 

Of course, if you have some great thought-provoking quotes about food, feel free to post below.
