Quote by Liz Curtis Higgs
There you are. A simple commandment. Not ten of them, just one: 'Thou shalt not eat.' (Personally, I wish the very first edict from God hadn't involved dieting, don't you?)
Summary
This quote humorously suggests that if there were only one commandment given by God, it would jokingly be "Thou shalt not eat." The speaker humorously expresses their dissatisfaction with the idea that the first divine instruction given to humanity is related to dieting, implying a playful criticism of popular concerns about food restrictions and the challenges of sticking to them.
