“Their [those with eating disorders'] task is to rescue themselves from a drive that is destroying them. Food embodies the false values that their own bodies refuse to assimilate, by which I mean that their bodies become edemic, bloated, allergic, or resort to vomiting the poison out. The unconscious body, and certainly the conscious body, will not tolerate the negative mother.” MeanBodyMotherValuesEatingConsciousNegativeTasksRefusePoisonUnconsciousDisorderDestroyingRescueTolerateResortsEating DisorderAllergicVomiting Author:Marion Woodman

“I hated tobacco. I could have almost lent my support to any institution that had for its object the putting of tobacco smokers to death...I now feel that smoking in moderation is a comfortable and laudable practice, and is productive of good. There is no more harm in a pipe than in a cup of tea. You may poison yourself by drinking too much green tea, and kill yourself by eating too many beefsteaks. For my part, I consider that tobacco, in moderation, is a sweetener and equalizer of the temper.” FeelsMayPracticeSupportToo MuchObjectsComfortableEatingInstitutionsGreenDrinkingHarmCupsTeaHatedPoisonSmokingProductiveTemperModerationPipeTobaccoCups Of TeaSmokersKilling YourselfEqualizerTobacco SmokingGreen TeaPipe SmokingDrinking Too MuchSweeteners Author:Thomas Huxley
