Food for thought...

"It has toppled empires
and defeated the greatest armies.
It can put you on top of the world
or in the depths of despair.
It can inspire you to fight forever
or make you too weak to lift a finger.
It can cause disease
and it can cure disease.
It can alter your mind
and it has the power to destroy humanity.

What can it be?

Power? Money? Sex? Sin? Greed?
Pestilence? Plague? Disease?

No, it's none of the above.

It's FOOD."

Sara Henderson, "A Year at Bullo", 1997.
