Last year Paula Wolfert, a well known cookbook author and food writer (and eGullet member "Wolfert"), was diagnosed with Benson's Syndrome, a relative of Alzheimer's Disorder.

...she began researching what kinds of foods might help or hurt mental acuity, using the same type of determination she once used to hunt down the best and most specific way of making the foods of the Mediterranean and Southwest France.

Full article from which the above quote was taken. Another article, including a PBS video.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food." -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged." -Max Tegmark, physicist

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

A king can stand people's fighting, but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist
