Food slut

People say great food is like great sex. But after two years of reviewing trendy restaurants, chatting with charming chefs, and indulging in fatted duck breast, I've lost my appetite.

    A phony is different from a slut

    You don't cook, you don't even really like food, so I gather you wanted to be a food writer mainly so you could feed your people your writing.

    That's rather dishonest. I can see why you want to blame it all on skinny women. It's so easy for women of your political orientation to do that.

    Well, as everyone knows, skinny women have no souls, they have no feelings, they are incapable of experiencing pain or humiliation. So they can be abused and judged in print as much as any writer of your highly judgmental generation desires.

    In Paradise, Muslim men are supposed to be given 72 virgins who have no souls and hence can't be hurt by being used as sexual gratification devices.

    Perhaps when you arrive in Heaven, you'll be given 72 skinny women without souls, and then you can judge them and criticize them in public without hurting the feelings of any real human being.
