It seems that linguistically, there are a lot of cute little things we say to lovers that indicate there is a sort of crossed wire here somewhere in the collective unconscious.

Stuff like, "darlin' I love you so much I could just gobble you up!"

Or maybe things we say to our food.

"Oh my, I sure do love oysters," after which someone pipes in and jokes, "OH yeah, well then why don't you marry 'em!"

Love can be a painful and all consuming ordeal.

If ever, it very rarely matches the perfect, harmonious, cooperative ideal that many poets and preachers wax on about.

So is the connection between eating and loving something evolutionary? Is it socialized? Thoughts?

Both are about survival, so it stands to reason, I suppose, that we would "love" both so much.
