“Since sexuality originates in eating, it is always haunted by the imagery of ingestion, having neither an object nor a territory proper to itself. (…) The genesis of secrecy may also be attributed to eating, for it is well known that the best way to keep a secret is to eat the evidence. The stomach is a place almost as private as the grave”
Thomas P. Waldemer. Life eating life: Food, drink, and catharsis in a “HORA DE ESTRELA”
