In the golden land of flowing opportunity I was to find my work that was denied me in the sterile village of my forefathers. Here I was to be free from the dead drudgery for bread that held me down in Russia. For the first time in America, I'd cease to be a slave of the belly. I'd be a creator, a giver, a human being! My work would be the living job of fullest self-expression (Yezierska). What does the author most likely mean when she says she will no longer be a "slave of the belly" in paragraph 6?

A. She will no longer sacrifice meals to save money.

B. She will no longer work just any job in order to eat.

C. She will no longer work for just food without wages.

D. She will be able to buy better, more expensive food.
