Serres on the body

“The body, as we know, is becoming more and more undifferentiated. Like food, it is tending towards dedifferentiation: infantile, mammalian, it is returning to its sweet, milky origins. Roly-poly behemoths tumble out of their cars, stunted babies blown up to scale. America is looking much younger these days.” Michel Serres, The Five Senses, p. 185.
