January 28: Thoughts for the Day

Posted on January 28, 2014 by John Swinburn

Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es.
~Anthelme Brillat-Savarin~
Physiologie du Gout, ou Meditations de Gastronomie Transcendante, 1826

This translates, roughly, into “Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.”

Today, we say “You are what you eat.”  And you are.  And I am.  And I should always remember that.

    So, if I might be so flip, Juan, are you saying I am menudo? 😉

    I wonder if we might say, “We are what we don’t eat”?

I wish you would tell me what you think about this post...
