Thomas JeffersonI eat fish, three times a week meat, and if not yogurt, something like this and it rarely continues.
Karl LagerfeldI try to very hard to avoid a situation where I would be eating cat or dog; I’ve managed to gracefully avoid that. It’s hypocritical of me and an arbitrary line, but one that I have managed to avoid crossing.

Lady GagaI, personally, think there is a really danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture.
Anthony BourdainMan seems to be the only animal whose food soils him, making necessary much washing and shield-like bibs and napkins. Moles living in the earth and eating slimy worms are yet as clean as seals or fishes, whose lives are one perpetual wash.

PlatoSome people wanted champagne and caviar when they should have had beer and hot dogs.
Dwight D. EisenhowerBread without flesh is a good diet, as on many botanical excursions I have proved. Tea also may easily be ignored.

John MuirI do not like broccoli. And I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m President of the United States and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.

Nikola TeslaContext and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one’s life.
Anthony BourdainI know I have to run 20 more minutes if I eat ice cream. Basically, I eat everything, but I just do more training.
Jackie ChanWe’re all bombarded with so many dietary messages that it’s hard to find time to sort through all this information, but we do have time to take a look at our kids‘ plates.
Michelle ObamaWe all need to start making some changes to how our families eat. Now, everyone loves a good Sunday dinner. Me included. And there’s nothing wrong with that. The problem is when we eat Sunday dinner Monday through Saturday.
Michelle ObamaA man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.

Erma BombeckI’m evangelical on the subject of some chefs and writers.
Anthony BourdainIf you’re a person struggling to eat and stay healthy, you might have heard about Michael Jordan or Muhammad Ali, but you’ll never have heard of Bill Gates.

Michelle ObamaIce-cream is exquisite – what a pity it isn’t illegal.
VoltaireMeals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself.
Anthony BourdainFame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Emily DickinsonI hid myself in food.

Anthony BourdainWhy can’t I just eat my waffle?
Barack ObamaRemember a few years ago when Congress declared that the sauce on a slice of pizza should count as a vegetable in school lunches? You don’t have to be a nutritionist to know that this doesn’t make much sense.

Franz KafkaI will not eat oysters. I want my food dead. Not sick. Not wounded. Dead.
Woody AllenWherever I go, as long as I get a hot vegetable dish, I am okay. If I am in Gujarat, I have Gujarati food. If it’s Shillong, it’s northeastern.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamI want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.
Oscar WildeI would love to encourage all my teammates to eat the best way they possibly can. High school athletes. Now, that’s not the way our food system in America is set up. It’s very different. They have a food pyramid, and I disagree with that. I disagree with a lot of things that people tell you to do.
Tom BradyFood is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go.
Anthony BourdainYou just feel a little odd when you don’t get your kind of food. Fortunately, there are Indian restaurants all over the world.

Angelina JolieOnly the pure in heart can make a good soup.
Ludwig van BeethovenPapa, potatoes, poultry, prunes and prism, are all very good words for the lips.
Charles DickensI am very strict about what I eat. I do not consume anything that my body does not require. It takes a lot of sacrifice and discipline. It wasn’t easy before but now its second nature for me.
Sunil ChhetriThe dieting wars have got to stop.
Lady GagaI don’t have much patience for people who are self-conscious about the act of eating, and it irritates me when someone denies themselves the pleasure of a bloody hunk of steak or a pungent French cheese because of some outdated nonsense about what’s appropriate or attractive.
Anthony BourdainTo lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.
Benjamin FranklinFacts are to the mind what food is to the body.
Edmund BurkeScience and mindfulness complement each other in helping people to eat well and maintain their health and well-being.

Beyonce KnowlesPeople are generally proud of their food. A willingness to eat and drink with people without fear and prejudice… they open up to you in ways that somebody visiting who is driven by a story may not get.
Anthony BourdainI’m certainly well taken care of in terms of food and clothes.
Bill GatesI think I’ve really stepped outside the box in the way I try to train, eat, hydrate, the cognitive brain games I play on a daily or weekly basis to try to build up some durability within my body, within my brain, to be able to go out there and play at a high level at age 38.
Tom BradyI eat only vegetables and fruit, and to me it’s the most aspirational diet because it’s so easy. It’s quite simple, the cooking I do.
