  !q The only people who are obsessed with food are the anorexics and the morbidly obese, and that, in erotic terms, is the Catholic Church in a nutshell. ~ @stephenfry

    @exador23 I know foodies who are quite obsessed with food that are far from fitting in either of those two groups.

      @greggish there is a distinction between being an ecstatic devotee and being obsessed.

    the quote suffers a bit being out of context. you can get the gist if you start around 15min or so.

      @exador23 Lots wrong with that superficially clever analogy. Anorexics - obsessed with body image. Morbidly obese - pathologically hungry.

        @greggish yet still, both of those do lead to an obsession with food.

        more precise to say "manifest as" an obsession...

        @exador23 When you say "suffers," I presume you refer to the manner in which it makes no goddamn sense at all, right?

        @frankenspock that's hard to say. I can't un-hear the context to get a fresh look.
