"Most of the energy that we put into our thinking about food, I realized, isn’t about food; it’s about anxiety. Food makes us anxious. The infinite range of choices and possible self-expressions means that there are so many ways to go wrong. You can make people ill, and you can make yourself look absurd. People feel judged by their food choices, and they are right to feel that, because they are."

Jules Feiffer skewered this type of self-analyzing Took-a-Course-at-the-New-School "no c'mon it's really interesting to listen to my neuroses" bullshit about a hundred freaking years ago.
