Voltaire says "No:" he tells you that Candide

Found life most tolerable after meals;[277]He's wrong—unless man were a pig, indeed,

Repletion rather adds to what he feels,

Unless he's drunk, and then no doubt he's freed

From his own brain's oppression while it reels.

Of food I think with Philip's son[278] or rather

Ammon's (ill pleased with one world and one father);[EW]
