CatherineM Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I liked this quote best, "One more critical link between the appetites for sex and food is this: Both, if pursued without regard to consequence, can prove ruinous not only to oneself, but also to other people, and even to society itself."

Justified Saint Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I perused this last night, and I have to say it is a very interesting thesis. But I don't think Nietzsche's transvaluation is really the right template for the phenomenon of food as the new sex. Transvaluation usually implies a reversal of values and I don't think the values of sex and food could necessarily be said to be reversed in our current age. A psychoanalytic approach in the Freudian tradition would actually be a bit more insightful, especially if one is attempting to make a tie in with sex. But beyond that, the abundance of food for just about every member of society in developed nations is obviously rather unprecedented. Which means new challenges and new thoughts about food are in the ascendant that most of human history has probably never been conscious of due to the general modicum of food in both pre-industrial and industrial times. To me, that makes the jump from saying our need to regulate food is a need to fill the void left by the deregulation of sex a bit of a hasty one.

Lounge Daddy Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Food = sex. That's why I have a great big mirror suspended over the dining room table, so that I can lay there naked and watch myself eat. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm.... oooooo... mmmmmmmm.... Cue the erotic music.
