"The doctrine of foods is of great ethical and political significance. Food becomes blood, blood becomes heart and brain, thoughts and mind-stuff. Human fare is the foundation of human culture and thought. Would you improve a nation? Give it, instead of declamations against sin, better food. Man is what he eats" [see Hayden White's article "Feuerbach" in the Encyclopedia of Philosophy, ed. by Paul Edwards, vol. 3-4, 192].
