Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

What should I do for dinner?
and received a response of:
12 Clogging
The Statement of the first hexagram
Clogging by wicked people.
Nothing to be gained,
even from a steadfast prince.
The great goes, the vile comes.
The changing lines
The first line:
Pulling couch grass
uproots more with it by entwined roots.
Snatch it: fortune. Continue.
The fourth line:
Commands without fault,
fields divided: blessings.
The fifth line:
Clogging ceases. Great people prosper.
It could be lost! It could be lost!
Tie it to the roots of a mulberry tree.
27 Nourishing
The Statement of the second hexagram
Nourishing. Pure fortune.
Watch the jaws
and what one seeks to fill one's mouth.
The Image of the first hexagram
Heaven and earth
separate: clogging.
The noble one acts
with self-restraint
in the face
of punishing hardship,
and avoids glory or riches.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder below the mountain: nourishing.
The noble one is
careful in speech
and temperate
while eating and drinking.
