"Food Chain," by Genevieve Gauckler

"When asked 'why food?' Genevieve Gauckler replies that food is both 'superscary' and perfectly normal. Food is everybody's concern, whether you like it or not. Food is ambiguous. It is good and bad at the same time, or rather: it is. Food has to do with pleasure, disguist, disease, surplus, consumption, survival, energy, digestion, cycllecal processes, cannibalism, decay, stench, body odour, obesity, superstition, religion, affluence, fertility. 'Were just a digestive tract,' she says. That is not pessimistic, it's just a simple fact" (Food Chain).
