![“I love the treat and pleasure of eating when it becomes an act of focused giving and sharing...Wasting money and appetite on bad food is disappointing, but it doesn't matter when the company is good...[T]here's a lot to be said for eating as a social act. It's a treat, even when the food is bad.” quote by Lucy Knisley](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/53e/lucy-knisley-86282_bad-food_i-love-the-treat-and-pleasure-of-eating_320054.jpg)
