A little Buddhist perspective...

on the whole food thing...

From a book by Patrul Rinpoche, one of the most famous of Tibet's wandering yogis

"... be satisfied with whatever food and clothes might come your way..."

in which he also quotes Padampa Sangye:

"Even delicious meals turn into excrement; don't give great importance to food.
...
The most precious jewel is within you; do not long for food and wealth.
...
Mind has its own natural ability; don't just follow the dictates of your stomach."
