Jami Attenberg Food Quotations

What a character eats is a detail - like eye color or a favorite song. But food is also our lifeblood.

There are a lot of great things about food, but it's something that's an eternal struggle in our contemporary society, where and how food is made, where it's coming from, how much to consume. There are so many layers to it.

I actually didn't grow up in a household that loved Chinese food particularly, and it's not really my go-to food or anything... We were more a pizza family, being from the Chicago area and all.

Maybe I wouldn't hit three fast food restaurants in a day, but I could hit one in a day. I try not to do that.

Food and love are all intertwined at our core level. It can be a very nurturing, wonderful, loving thing.
