Basically, I'm a perpetual student. I start by finding a subject I really don't know very much, but that I'm curious about. I learn about it through books in a library, by doing interviews with people who know a lot about the subject, and by going out on my own and seeing for myself what's happening.

As a matter of fact, most cases of food poisoning are never linked back to their source.

We're all connected by the system, and we all have to be a part, I think, of changing it.

The United States now has more prison inmates than full-time farmers.

I think for real change to happen, it's going to have to come from the kids, the community, the teachers, the parents.

Point of view is present in anything I write, but I really try to let the subject and facts speak for themselves.

The life's work of Walt Disney and Ray Kroc had come full-circle, uniting in perfect synergy. McDonald's began to sell its hamburgers and french fries at Disney's theme parks. The ethos of McDonaldland and of Disneyland, never far apart, have finally become one. Now you can buy a Happy Meal at the Happiest Place on Earth.
