Corporations cook very differently from how people do.

Corn is a greedy crop, as farmers will tell you.

The great virtue of a diversified food economy, like a diverse pasture or farm, is its ability to withstand any shock. The important thing is that there be multiple food chains, so that when any one of them fails-when the oil runs out, when mad cow or other food-borne diseases become epidemic, when the pesticides no longer work, when drought strikes and plagues come and soils blow away-we'll still have a way to feed ourselves.

Food is not just fuel. Food is about family, food is about community, food is about identity. And we nourish all those things when we eat well.

There's no sacrifice in eating well, there is no sacrifice in pleasure. To the contrary, the best-grown food is actually the tastiest.

Eat slowly, with other people whenever possible, and always with pleasure.

Man is by definition the first and primary weed. Weeds are not the other. Weeds are us.
