Summary

This quote suggests that those whose ultimate pleasure in life is solely centered around eating can only provide the crudest, animalistic justification for why they exist. It implies that if a person's primary purpose in life is focused solely on satisfying their basic bodily desires, they are neglecting higher intellectual, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of existence. It encourages individuals to seek a more meaningful and multifaceted purpose beyond mere physical gratification.
