WE HAVE TO EAT. Some of us eat too much. New ostomy patients puzzle over what they can eat and what they better not. Too many people in the world wonder where their next meal is coming from. For those of us fortunate enough to have supermarkets around the corner, our concern is more the prices than what’s available. But everyone has different tastes. Your dog may be happy with a tossed bone while you’ll want the steak itself, medium rare (or whatever). Then there’s the poor animal from which the bone and steak were produced. Before he became part of the food chain, he had to eat too. A famous French gourmet once remarked about the variations in eating habits. “Animals feed,” he said. “Man eats.” Then he added: “Only a man of wit knows how to dine.” I can only assume that he counted himself among the last category.
