Yours portly loves food, and if my constantly fluctuating weight is any indication, I have a contentious relationship with it.  Food for us fatties is like a narcotic to the addict:  we know we shouldn’t eat so much of it, but it numbs us to the harsh realities of life.  Conquering the hold food has over us is an eternal struggle.

So here I have some classic posts about food (or the lack thereof):

• “The Joys of Fasting” – A post about the lack of food, and the mental, physical, and spiritual benefits derived from abstaining from eating.
• “Myersvision: ‘Ode to the PB&J’” – Audre Myers‘s ode to the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
• “McDonald’s: A Vision of Our Dystopian Future” – My analysis of the decline of the service industry.

Bon Appétit!
