Philosophy of Food  

When new members sign up for the Get A Life Marching Band via the website, we give them the opportunity to offer us their Philosophy of Food. While not every new member avails him- or herself of the chance to set the record straight on "food, glorious food", lots of them do. Herewith a selection, with some of our favorites marked in color.

Never skip any meals. Breakfast, lunch, snack, and supper!

Try almost everything at least once. Eat, Enjoy, and Visit. I love Scandinavian goodies!

No tomato chunks or mushrooms... other than that... bring it on.

Eat it, just Eat it (to the tune of beat it, just beat it)

Bacon and Sour Cream makes everything better.

No sushi, no tofu. If you can put gravy on it, I'm there.

You only live once, eat what you want!

Love it, eat it, sometimes throw it! Yummy!

Avoid fruits and nuts; you are what you eat.

Anything can be eaten or grilled with large spatulas.

Ice cream is the most well-rounded food.

Eat it, then ask "what is it?" :) and keep lots of Tums on hand....maybe even BeanO ;)....

I don't turn down free food.

I'll eat anything cooked on a BBQ grill.

Eat right and eat left!

I tell friends that I like to get my daily vitamin CH. (Chocolate)

Food is wonderful, should be consumed whenever possible, in as many varieties as possible ...

The early bird catches the worm.... but, the late mouse catches the cheese!

Good food, good ham, and tonight.... hot damn!

I wish there was a biscuit and gravy tree.

If it's vegetarian and deep-fried, chances are I'll eat it.

If I was deserted on a desert island and I only had one food and one drink to have for the rest of my life, it would be pizza and pepsi.

I like to say grace before meals. "God's neat. Let's eat!"

Never met a meal I didn't like...or eat...well, except haggis in Scotland.

Fat = flavor. Reducing the fat reduces the flavor. I usually outsource my vegetable consumption to animals such as chickens or cows. In turn I eat them; I figure it saves a step or two.

Best when eaten

Eat and die!

Chocolate or chocolate!

It is to eat, all kinds.

Chocolate is largely the reason I exist (or at the very least, the reason that I jog).
