'I take that first bite of dinner – the food somehow pushing my slack body upright, into itself – and realise I haven’t eaten all day. How could this have happened? I never used to be a person who forgot meals. I couldn’t understand what that was, so eager was I to eat. When my hunger goes, I realise what it is to eat: a reprieve from the day filled with tasks; a necessary moment to myself; an experience shared with family, friends.' (Introduction)
