The problem with living in a fast-food nation is that we expect food to be cheap.

Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.

People cooked with a certain integrity before fast food, 50 or 60 years ago. When the cheap food arrived, and we didn't have the education and deep cultural roots to hold on, we got swept away by fast, cheap and easy.

I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.

I have a love affair with tomatoes and corn. I remember them from my childhood. I only had them in the summer. They were extraordinary.

Eating is an environmental act.
