To feed someone is nothing short of a privilege.  To do so is to be ordained with the distinct honor of a family member, a friend, an acquaintance, or, in some cases, a random stranger putting their lives in your hands with little pre-qualification.  Moreover, preparing a meal for another is the very act of providing a life force to someone who shares your mortal experience.

To cook is to literally give life to others, and they are under the natural assumption one is doing just that--because why would a fellow human have reason to do otherwise‽

That's why, out of all the law and true crime material I've witnessed, I find those who tamper with people's food to be the most cowardly, despicable, and heinously wicked.

The definition of a witch is one who willfully pollutes and violates the great, unifying communion act all man ⁊ woman both share in sharing a meal.

They're none more cowardly than those who poison or mishandle food.
