“No one supposed that dinoflagellates might actively kill fish as an evolved response for their own specific advantage, including a potential nutritional benefit for the algal cells. And yet the dinoflagellates do seem to be killing and eating fishes in a manner suggesting active evolution for this most peculiar reversal.” SeemsMightEvolutionBenefitsEatingAdvantageResponseKillingIncludingFishesActiveCellsPeculiarSuggestingReversal Book:Leonardo's Mountain of Clams and the Diet of Worms: Essays on Natural History Source: Leonardo's Mountain of Clams and the Diet of Worms: Essays on Natural History

“Sometimes it's binge eating as a method to handle emotional pain. I'll also write very sporadically - music, lyrics - to identify the problem. There are a few cathartic processes I've alternated randomly. There's no default. Each emotional experience elicits a different, possibly new response.” WritingDifferentSometimesProblemPainProcessEmotionalEatingMethodResponseHandleEmotional PainDefaultBingeCatharticBinge Eating Author:Brendan Dooling
“Right now, I see a lot of alarming trends inside Russia, especially in Siberia, which I represent in the parliament. People start to ask questions: If we mine all the natural resources - if we have all the oil, all the gas, all the coal, all the gold, all the diamonds - why the hell do we need central Russia? They are just eating at our resources. Without Moscow having a response for this, it would face very nasty questions such as one that was asked during my recent reelection campaign - it actually became a slogan of my campaign - "Stop feeding Moscow."” PeopleNaturalHellEatingGoldResponseGasDiamondNastySlogansNatural Resources Author:Ilya Ponomarev
“When people hear about legal restrictions on marketing and advertising, often the response is: Aren't you just being a food nanny? Isn't that government playing too much of a role in our lives? When people have that response, they're forgetting the extent to which what kids are eating and drinking is having as much of an impact on their lives as, say, if they were starting to smoke cigarettes as teenagers. Diet-related illnesses are causing nearly as many deaths as tobacco-related illnesses.” PeopleKidsForgetEatingDrinkingResponseMarketingIllnessAdvertisingTeenagerCigarette Author:Anna Lappe
“When I look in the fridge, I see groceries, but I don't see food. My stomach growls; but there is no appetite. Appetite and hunger are different. Appetite is the mental prompting that kicks the auto-response into drive so you actually reach out, take the food, put it in your mouth, chew, and swallow. I learned this in my first psychology course. Eating isn't just a physical need; it starts in the mind, generating hunger, which then should trigger the body to ingest food. I have no sparks between these plugs.” NeedsShouldMindFirstsLooksDifferentBodyCoursesPsychologyEatingMouthsResponseHungerKicksStomachSparksAppetiteReach OutTriggersGroceriesPlugsFridges Author:Julie Gregory
“Firekeeper still could not understand the human penchant for eating in company. Even less so, she could not understand the human desire to combine business and meals. True, a wolf pack shared a kill, but not from any great desire to do so—rather because any who departed the scene would be unlikely to get a share... She struggled...not to bolt her food and almost always remembered that growling when a person spoke to you was not a proper response.” HumansPersonsStillsWould BeDesireCompanyShareSceneEatingResponseRememberedMealsSpokesPacksUnlikelyBoltsDepartedGrowlingWolf Packs Author:Jane Lindskold
