“Keen appetite
And quick digestion wait on you and yours.”

John Dryden (1631-1700) ‘Cleomenes’ (act IV, sc. 1)
 

“Because of the media hype and woefully inadequate information, too many people nowadays are deathly afraid of their food, and what does fear of food do to the digestive system?

Julia Child (1912-2004)

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) ‘The Devil's Dictionary’
 

“Those who give themselves indigestion or get drunk, do not know how to eat or drink.”
Jean-Antheleme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
 

“A good eater must be a good man; for a good eater must have a good digestion, and a good digestion depends upon a good conscience.”
Benjamin Disraeli, 'The Young Duke' (1831)
 

“The fate of a nation has often depended upon the good or bad digestion of a prime minister.”
