““When we feel disconnected, food can sometimes be a way of connecting with the outside world. Think about what you’re doing when you’re eating—you are taking something that is outside of you and you are bringing it inside you in a very intimate way. You are connecting and merging with that food, and that food becomes you; eating becomes a surrogate for the true connection that we desire. When we have spiritual starvation, there can be the tendency to “fill the soul” by eating.””
