Nobody had ever told me junk food was bad for me. Four years of medical school and four years of internship and residency and I never thought anything was wrong with eating sweet rolls and doughnuts and potatoes and bread and sweets.

And though various organizations in America and England collected money and sent food parcels to these refugees nothing was ever received by the Spanish.

It's almost seems as though there's a battle going on between the public and all the fast-food establishments and believe me I think it's very tasty food.

I'm learning to hunt with rifles because if you think about it hunting gets you the healthiest meat - organic free-range food. It's a totally yuppie spin on what I thought was kind of a redneck occupation.

I had absolutely no idea how I had ballooned during my pregnancy. All I thought about was eating plenty of food to keep my baby healthy.

It's a funny thing about me. I don't have any interest in food most of the time now although when I was a kid I was always hungry.

I'm tempted by everything. My husband makes fun of me because every day it's a new food that I love. I have a weakness for butterscotch pudding ice cream in any flavor and dark chocolate although that's one thing I do keep in my house - 70% dark chocolate.

It was my Uncle George who discovered that alcohol was a food well in advance of modern medical thought.

The wonderful thing about Food for Thought is that it lets you keep your hand in theater and be in front of a live audience without a commitment of six months or even three months.

Even though I grew up as a Sephardic Jew in Brooklyn where we ate Syrian food and went to temple it was still America.

The thing about all my food is that everything is a remembered flavor. Maybe it's something I had as a child or maybe it's something I had in Milan but I want it to taste better than you ever thought.

I love Alton Brown's show 'Good Eats ' about the chemistry of food. It's really thoughtful.

The food in the House of Commons is fairly good. The cafe in Portcullis House is really very high quality and you also have a choice of eating in the more traditional restaurants the Churchill Room or the Members' Dining Room. I don't often eat in them though as I'm usually on the run.

There are times like after a long day of work when the thought of an easy drive-through is enticing. But then I remember how crappy I felt when I ate fast food in the past and it inspires me to head to the grocery store or my local farmer's market and whip up an easy but healthier option.

Nobody believed the 'Food Network' could last. Even I was short sighted and thought to myself 24 hours of food on TV? They'll run out of things to talk about in four days! But that wasn't true. 'Food Network' continues to get better and evolve.

Though I love the luxury of the Waldorf Towers room service there doesn't do soul food.

One way to find food for thought is to use the fork in the road the bifurcation that marks the place of emergence in which a new line of development begins to branch off.
