Amazed Quote by Diane Ackerman

“If we mammals don't get something to eat every day or two, our temperature drops, all our signs fall off, and we begin to starve. Living at biological red alert, it's not surprising how obsessed we are with food; I'm just amazed we don't pace and fret about it all the time.” quote by Diane Ackerman — Download Open image
