“I feel it is an obligation to help people understand the relation of food to agriculture and the relationship of food to culture.”

“I can't imagine leaving the restaurant. It's hard for me to separate my life from my work; I'm really thinking about what we're doing every day.”

“It's hard to come into a new relationship with food unless you're engaged in an interactive way at an early age; it's hard to change your values.”

“The oceans produce up to 70 percent of our oxygen, they shape our climate, and they support an American oceans economy larger than our nation's entire agriculture sector.”

“Agriculture is the most destructive industry that we have. More than coal mining and other extractive industries.”

“Industrial agriculture, because it depends on standardization, has bombarded us with the message that all pork is pork, all chicken is chicken, eggs eggs, even though we all know that can't really be true.”
