I was a fat little boy when I was 10 years old! My mother, who didn't speak any English at all, said, 'I know the only thing is to put him in an English boarding school. The food will be so horrible that he'll lose his weight.'
— Omar Sharif
I was never diagnosed with an eating disorder but I definitely had a difficult relationship with food.
— Olly Alexander

— Oliver Reed
A healthy mind and body are essential. No excesses. Proper food. The body is like a Rolls-Royce. With care, it could last 200 years. It's a dynamo; the more you use it, the more you recharge it.
— Oleg Cassini
Growing up in a very poor orphanage in Ukraine, there wasn't much food.
— Oksana Masters

— Nouriel Roubini

— Norman Wisdom
We must recognize the fact that adequate food is only the first requisite for life. For a decent and humane life, we must also provide an opportunity for good education, remunerative employment, comfortable housing, good clothing, and effective and compassionate medical care.
— Norman Borlaug
If people want to believe that the organic food has better nutritive value, it's up to them to make that foolish decision. But there's absolutely no research that shows that organic foods provide better nutrition.
Unless there is one master gene for yield, which I'm guessing there is not, engineering for yield will be very complex. It may happen eventually, but through the coming decades, we must assume that gene engineering will not be the answer to the world's food problems.
Food is the moral right of all who are born into this world.
Yet food is something that is taken for granted by most world leaders despite the fact that more than half of the population of the world is hungry.

— Noemie Lenoir
If my dinner was really hot, I'd put my fork up to my eye and look at my little brother through the steam coming off the food. He'd say: 'Mum, he's looking at me through his fork again.' It sent him insane.
— Noel Fielding
I'm not a fan of travel and food shows in general, because I think, a lot of the time, I feel like they're talking down to you.
— Omar Benson Miller
I have very high standards for every part of life - my work, my relationships, food, love. I can't just pretend.
— Olivia Wilde
It's never fun having to bulk up for a job on an action film, then lose weight for another role. I don't actually mind working out, but it's the diet: I'm half-French, so I love my food, and boiled chicken breast for breakfast is not my idea of a good meal.
— Oliver Jackson-Cohen
A first date should be elegant. In comfortable surroundings. A place with excellent food, where you can talk easily and get to know each other.
I can go days without eating if I don't think about food. Your mind, to protect itself, learns not to pay attention to that hunger feeling.
I belong to a Bohri Muslim family, and for us, food is our biggest celebration. We are used to elaborate five- to six-course meals.
— Nushrat Bharucha
Yoga is the most boring exercise. It's for people who are too lazy to get on the elliptical. Bikram, where they heat up the room to mimic India's climate, is especially stupid. People in India are not skinny because they're doing yoga in 105-degree rooms; they're skinny because there's no food.
— Noureen DeWulf
I basically eat a lot of proteins, and I've been eating smaller portions of food. I try to eat all locally raised and organic produce.
— Norman Reedus

Almost certainly, however, the first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind.
Civilization as it is known today could not have evolved, nor can it survive, without an adequate food supply.
All I do when I write scripts is think about food: 'Have I worked long enough to justify a walk to the kitchen?'
I grew up with fantastic Southern food. In Southern California.
I like how food can look incredible more than I like eating it. I started moving food around the plate to make it appear I'd eaten more but then enjoyed making faces on the plate - peas for eyebrows, Yorkshire puddings for eyes.
I've got this rep as a party boy, but the only show I've ever missed was when I had food poisoning from an Australian duck curry. I was puking buckets.
Being a typical Briton, I love my home comforts and always try and find an English pub where I can tuck into some traditional English food, accompanied by a nice pint. Fortunately, I haven't been ill with food poisoning or anything like that, which is quite surprising considering how many different types of food I eat when I'm travelling.
— Olly Murs
Eating disorders are usually nothing to do with food. Parents need to be with their child to see them through it. All the therapists in the world can't help if the parents aren't present, loving, and proactive.
— Olivia Newton-John
I just love France, I love French people, I love the French language, I love French food. I love their mentality. I just feel like it's me. I'm very French.
— Olga Kurylenko
You can't feed a cat with cream and food in the kitchen and expect him to go catch mice.
— Olav Thon
A 10-pound sack of potatoes lasts a long time.
— Octavia E. Butler
For me, Eid means having lots of yummy food.
I love apple sauce. I have an addiction - I don't know what it is, but I just love the texture of it. It reminds me of baby food. Not that I like to eat baby food.
— Normani Kordei

If some consumers believe that it's better from the point of view of their health to have organic food, God bless them. Let them buy it. Let them pay a bit more.
In my Nobel lecture, I suggested we had until the year 2000 to tame the population monster, and then food shortages would take us under. Now I believe we have a little longer.
Without food, man can live at most but a few weeks; without it, all other components of social justice are meaningless.
Man's survival, from the time of Adam and Eve until the invention of agriculture, must have been precarious because of his inability to ensure his food supply.
I am the kind of person who really will drive hours for a bowl of chili. I'm not a three-star restaurant kind of a person; I'm just a food person.
Food was supposed to be a slightly bigger part of 'Heartburn,' and it actually didn't turn out to be because of me. I just didn't find a way to make it a bigger part of the movie as I should have, and we cut several scenes in which food was a major character.
Even the other kids who people made fun of made fun of me. That's where I stood on the school food chain.
— Nonito Donaire
When I was at art college, a can of Spray Mount adhesive cost £12: £2 more than my weekly food bill.
