Has anyone ever noticed that if someone uses the expression "here's food for thought," that without a doubt what follows next is total and absolute drivel?

It's almost as if they were sending a signal that it's safe to ignore whatever they say.

I've noticed that when someone says that to me, the next thing they say has nothing todo with food. Now I'm hungry!

No, sorry, that hasn't been my experience.

Obviously they mean "junk food".

It sounds better than "I'm just about to talk some shit"

Wow. Deep. That's food for thought. I shall pray for you, Brother Robotbuilder.

Similar to "i'm not a racist...but " "I don't hate gay...but"

Nothing good is going to come after the "but" as they prove themselves a hater.

Not without a doubt. Sometimes it's not drivel. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it can be used facetiously or as a joke. Am I taking this too seriously? Lol
