What we eat is a matter of life and death.

The point was living with grace, decency, and attention to the world, and breaking free of the artificial constructs in your own life.

For me, it's about optimizing health. It's about lifestyle and longevity. Then you think about what vegetarian diets can do for the mass population, in terms of lower consumption of resources. When you look at the numbers, it's pretty staggering.

Injuries are our best teachers.

Sometimes the road to wellness isnt a well-marked expressway.

Nature's arena has a way of humbling and energizing us.

We all lose sometimes. We fail to get what we want. Friends and loved ones leave. We make a decision we regret. We try our hardest and come up short. It's not the losing that defines us. It's how we lose. It's what we do afterward.
