This is what people don't understand: obesity is a symptom of poverty. It's not a lifestyle choice where people are just eating and not exercising. It's because kids - and this is the problem with school lunch right now - are getting sugar, fat, empty calories - lots of calories - but no nutrition.

Hunger is a political issue, and there are several things politically that are keeping people hungry - not funding food stamps adequately, not funding school lunches adequately. So there is a political solution to the problem of hunger.

Every chef should have an understanding of pastries or desserts.

I get angry when I think that people are blatantly incorrect on matters of fact.

A steak needs fat to taste great.

I know nothing about hip-hop... There's only so many times you can grab your crotch and prance around stage. I'm gonna get slammed now for this.

I think steak is the ultimate comfort food, and if you're going out for one, that isn't the time to scrimp on calories or quality.
