"Eating without conversation is only stoking"

- Marcelene Cox

About this Quote

This quote by Marcelene Cox speaks to the importance of conversation in the act of eating. Consuming is a communal activity, and discussion is an important part of it. Without discussion, eating is decreased to a mere physical act of sustaining the body. It is not a shared experience, and it does not have the delight and connection that features participating in significant discussion. Eating without conversation is like stiring a fire without including kindling or fuel. It is an essential part of the procedure, however it is insufficient to develop a meaningful experience. Eating with discussion, however, is like adding fuel to the fire. It triggers a connection between individuals, and it can create an unforgettable experience.
