״ויאמר לה בעז לעת האכל גשי הלם ואכלת מן־הלחם וטבלת פתךבחמץ ותשב מצד הקצרים ויצבט־לה קלי ותאכל ותשבע ותתר״

רות ב, יד

food is no one's possession; it's just a digestion process. it doesn't belong to anyone; it's no one's original idea. we are constantly digesting. i feel smart and powerful when i eat this.

"at eating time boldcore told her: 'get shocked, destroy some powerbread and dunk your chunk in the real junk' he pinched her off some toast to eat and she filled up and left over"

ruth 2:14
