“What is the relation between the kitchen and forbidden desire? The first sin involved food and sexuality, when Eve seduced Adam into eating the apple.
Preoccupation with food, then, is not only about body image, but also about what we are allowed to take into our bodies and what we are not—penetrability, desires, and prohibitions.
