Image Not Available for The Oyster. (You'll wake me up at dinner time.) Big, fat, thick, plump, greedy, wakes up only for the purpose of taking in food and sleeps only for the purpose of digesting it. The oyster does not eat for living, but lives for eating. Its locomotive and industrial apparatus are non existent. It vegetates on the spot and its existence is manifested only by the exactitude, the number and the quality of the meals. The entire energy of the oyster is located in the stomach. One might call it an animal of pleasure, its only mission in life being to consume without working, while others work without consuming. It seems to be perfectly at ease with this providential mission. (Lacépède – Natural History.)

Image Not Available for Yes! My dear, it has been more than three weeks that no food entered this good man’s body!… - I prepared a good cabbage soup with bacon and some potatoes, that he loves so much. This will give him some strength. If you'd follow the diet the doctors gave him, he would soon die of hunger…
