“Grace saw Susan’s restaurant meal as one consumed out of duty: a family brought together on the condition of convenience and ease; the time-frame predetermined by the restaurant’s hours or next bookings; the menu at someone else’s discretion, their tastes, their preferences.

“I miss my biscuit baby
My flour power lady
A friend to saints and sinners

In the culture I grew up in, the messages were so powerful that my girlfriends and I were wearing girdles to school by the time we were in junior high. When I began to dance, the old battle—me versus my body—was transformed. Instead of being just a problem to reshape and control, my body became a source of satisfaction and pleasure.”

“What we eat is determined by the food around us, its price and how it's marketed--that is what needs to change.”
“Since we are born with strong tendences to be sensitive to others’ emotional expressions, we are less likely to consume foods when we perceive disgust in others as they consume those foods.”
