Dear DW Hivemind: I need a quotation (for an epigraph) that would be appropriate for an essay about fat and beauty (a food metaphor would be okay, too, since there's a food metaphor running through the essay). Can you think of anything?

This is rather bizarre but the best I could find.

Fat is a state of being that takes pleasure in sensory experience...that does not merely swing naked from the chandelier but ensures that the chandelier is of Murano glass and that the swinging is to the soaring chords of Wagner. -- Simon Owers, "At One With One's Waist," _Antique Interiors International_ ("The Fat Issue")
