'Renewed humanity does not consume ambrosia; mundane though it may be, the kingdom of heaven is populated by bread eaters. Beyond that, Jesus chose a food that does not occur naturally. Bread is a uniquely human food; as Samuel Johnson 
observed, animals think and feel but no beast is a cook. Bread production is thus a further clue to the Christian conception of man's place in the creation.' (p173 Blessed are the Hungry, Peter Leithart)
