The way we eat has changed more in the last 50 years than in the previous 10,000…. Now our food is coming from enormous assembly lines where the animals and the workers are being abused, and the food has become much more dangerous in ways that are deliberately hidden from us. This isn’t just about what we’re eating. It’s about what we’re allowed to say. What we’re allowed to know.

The current fast food that we have is inexpensive when you buy it, but the long-term costs of eating it and the long-term costs to society, are much too high. This cheap food, when you add up all the total costs, is much too expensive.

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

Fast food is inexpensive, convenient, and it tastes good. I'm all in favor of that. My problem is how heavily processed it is - how full of salt, fat, and sugar it is.

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

There's a real strong link today between soda consumption and obesity among children.

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