Repairing broken ceramics?

A couple days ago, my cat knocked down my ceramic rice bowl and broke it. It was something I've had since I was a littlekid, so I was very disappointed.
It broke cleanly into 3 pieces, so I'm wondering if there's any way I can fix it?
I looked at a bottle of Tacky Glue, and it said it's ok to use on ceramics, but I don't know if that included ceramics used to eat with?
Does anyone know of something I can use to repair this bowl, that's water/food safe?

I don't think the bowl will be functional anymore once you repair it--I've fixed ceramic bowls but they became ornaments as they were no longer functional. Use glue of your choice and turn it into a bowl for silk flowers, a spare change receptacle, a place to store your rings or a couple of necklaces or use as a candy dish.
Sorry that happened but cats sometimes do things like that accidentally and there's not much we can do about it.

I am sure there has to be some kind of glue that would work to hold it together and still be safe to eat out of. I really cant stand keeping anything thats broken even if it is something very sentimental. My parents and sister glue anything that breaks. Me if something breaks I just throw it away. I dont like anything to be in less then perfect condition. Last night and today I accidently broke two magnets that were on my fridge. If that was my parents they would glue it back together. Me I just threw them in the garbage.
