That's interesting...I don't know where they came from, but I might just have to go do some research on that one...hmm...

Well, probably...
Food, unfortunately, is a huge part of our existance. Its used for celebrations, substanance, sadness, etc...
I think thats why losing weight can be so difficult...A smoker can give up cigarettes for good, because the body doesnt need it...Yes, its hard, but they can never smoke again, and live...Same for an alcoholic...
We cant stop eating cold turkey (Hey, another food reference!)...We would die...We have to learn to eat in moderation which SOMETIMES is harder than just quiting it all together...
Thats my most humble oppinion, anyway...

"It's a piece of cake".* "You can't have your cake and eat it, too".* "Better than sliced bread".* "Easy as pie".* "Gone bananas".* "Cool as a cucumber".* "In a pickle".* "Say cheese".** Where did some of these old sayings come from?* And why do so many of them make references to food?* I know there are a lot more, but these are just a few.**I've seen some of these on blogs and forum threads and it just got me wondering.* Has the world always been so obsessed with food?

I agree with what you said Dawn....wish we could just give up food altogether it would be easier but we can't so here we are trying to manage it!* We can do this - right.
