How do I access node body from template.php? Here is my code so far:

if (!empty($page['content']['system_main']['nodes']) &amp;&amp; is_array($page['content']['system_main']['nodes'])) {
    foreach ($page['content']['system_main']['nodes'] as $nid =&gt; &amp;$content) {

        // Blog
        if ($content['#node']-&gt;type == 'blog') {
            $description = ???;
        }

    }
}   


I can't figure out how to access the node's unformatted body field, I can't believe it's so difficult to achieve such a simple task..
It all depends where exactly you want to access it from.

For example in template_preprocess_node() you have full node object in $variables['node'], including body field ($variables['node']->body).
