Yes,
men and women eat meals. But they also
ingest nutrients. They grind and sculpt
them into a moistened bolus that is delivered, via a stadium wave of sequential
contractions, into a self-kneading sack of hydrochloric acid and then dumped
into a tubular leach field, where it is converted into the most powerful taboo
inhuman history. Lunch is an opening
act.

on the Alimentary Canal by Mary Roach.
