Appetizer

From Leon Kass, The Hungry Soul: Eating and the Perfecting of Our Nature:

"...nature rightly understood might turn out to be a suggestive teacher. Nature might yield a pointing-toward, a hinting-at, a promising-forth of a wholesome direction, a propitious attitude, a dignified and fulfilling posture for our lives. Nature, and even natural necessity, might yet point the way to virtue."
