Foods of Substance
41 catalogued entries
Prepared food is the most contested category in the archive and the subject of a standing internal objection, which the reader may consult in the essay on the problem of edible thiccc. The difficulty is that food is designed to be consumed, and an object in the process of being eaten is an object losing girth. The editors have ruled that the catalogued state is the served state. The ruling is not universally accepted at this masthead.
