Nothing is as reliably comforting as food. It will always be there for you when you're down. Feeling sad? Order a pizza, it will help. Feeling melancholy? Pick up that pint of Ben and Jerry's. No need for a bowl, that's all you baby. Feeling depressed? A french fry certainly never hurt. Food is there for us when we need to feel some monetary pleasure. Sure, a greasy meal won't sustain us forever, and it might even send us straight to the bathroom, but for a few moments, it's glorious. It replaces whatever gunk is in our hearts with beautiful flavor on our tongues.
This is why we have the phrase "comfort food." Maybe it's your mom's chicken piccata, or maybe it's your roommate's cookies. Maybe it's just the classic flavor of Cheez-It's. But either way, you're reaching for a fork in crisis. And then you're looking at these memes to wash it all down.
