Nina DobrevOnly by restoring the broken connections can we be healed. Connection is health. And what our society does its best to disguise from us is how ordinary, how commonly attainable, health is.

And not so much attacked as looked at menacingly. But it had murder in its eyes, that fish.

So I cooked it and ate before it had a chance to turn the tables.

And it was in that, in that finally landing in myself that I really discovered the world in my body.

Or maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me.' I know it's not possible for me to gain a noticeable amount of weight overnight, so I will go no further than that. I move on with my day without skipping a beat-and definitely without missing a meal.
Jenni SchaeferImagine if we had a food system that actually produced wholesome food. Imagine if it produced that food in a way that restored the land.

If that was the reality, then every meal would have the potential to be a perfect meal.

Anthony BourdainOdd as I am sure it will appear to some, I can think of no better form of personal involvement in the cure of the environment than that of gardening. A person who is growing a garden, if he is growing it organically, is improving a piece of the world. He is producing something to eat, which makes him somewhat independent of the grocery business, but he is also enlarging, for himself, the meaning of food and the pleasure of eating.

Sharon GannonMothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the worldโs goods in order to spend more time with their childrenโmore time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all.
