Eating is a way of thinking. By eating each other alive, animals grasp and share (in) some truth of sensuous beings, some kind of wisdom of the mysteries of despair, of negation, of non-intellectual incorporation which man extricates himself from.
Eating is a ritual activity with food categories constituting a social boundary system whereby the meal is a microcosm of wider social structures.
Great white sharks can go up to three months between meals
The giant panda can eat up to 83 lbs of bamboo a day
Earthworms eat their weight in food each day
Pandas can spend as much as 16 hours a day eating
The African Rock Python can live 2 years without eating
Eating would be terribly tiresome if God had not made it a pleasure as well as a necessity.
Eating is, along with sexuality, opposed as the two basic instincts that give rise to the whole variegation of the phenomena of life. Eating is a destruction of the object with the final aim of incorporating it, and the sexual act is an act of aggression with the purpose of the most intimate union.
