The only people who are obsessed with food are anorexics and the morbidly obese, and that in erotic terms is the Catholic church in a nutshell.” PeopleFunSexBitsDifficultTermChurchDarkAttitudeDangerousHealthyJokesExcitingCatholicPrimariesImpulseObsessedRudeEroticCatholic ChurchJollyObeseAnorexics Author:Stephen Fry
