Summary

This humorous quote suggests that as people age and reach the age of fifty-two, their priorities and desires shift. In this context, it implies that the enjoyment and satisfaction derived from consuming food becomes more significant than the pleasure associated with sexual relationships. It underscores the idea that as individuals grow older, their interests and pleasures can evolve, and basic needs such as nourishment may take precedence over other desires.

There is an insistent tendency among serious social scientis

There is an insistent tendency among serious social scientists to think of any institution which features rhymed and singing commercials, intense and lachrymose voices urging highly improbable enjoyment, caricatures of the human esophagus in normal and impaired operation, and which hints implausibly at opportunities for antiseptic seduction as inherently trivial. This is a great mistake. The industrial system is profoundly dependent on commercial television and could not exist in its present form without it.
