Does food want to be eaten? Let’s personify food for a moment. I’m at a nice restaurant. I’m famished, just about to dig in, when suddenly my plate starts talking to me. Muppet-like. What does he say? Is plate-of-food trying to entice me or is he blubbering about his wife and kids?

I’ve been troubled by this for many moons. I’d love your input on the matter. Email your thoughts to plateoffood@benshive.com.
