The fetish for food is like a secret affair you never want to reveal. You can't help salivating when you see the oh-so-delicious birthday cake, or the crisp fries, or even the melt-in-your-mouth lamb shanks. You may want to pretend that food does not affect you that much. But come on! Let's be honest here. Don't you wish you could eat all those yummy, to-die-for candies without putting an ounce of weight?

What thought crosses your mind when you see a delicious slice of cheese? Most of us would think of how it would melt in our mouth. But only a true connoisseur of fine food, like Clifton Fadiman, could think of another viewpoint, "Cheese—milk's leap toward immortality."

Clearly, food is an obsession with many. Binge on these other famous quotes about food.
