Wendell Berry's lines from his short essay "Pleasures of Eating" is not only my all time favorite but also influenced me to appreciate food and nudged me to become a vegetarian (at-least mostly).
"Eating with the fullest pleasure-pleasure, that is, that does not depend on ignorance-is perhaps the profoundest enactment of our connection with the world. In this pleasure we experience and celebrate our dependence and our gratitude, for we are living from mystery, from creatures we did not make and powers we cannot comprehend."
