“The way we allow children to be advertised to is shocking. Eating is a...” — Ruth Reichl Quote

“The way we allow children to be advertised to is shocking. Eating is a learned behavior, and we've made these kids sitting ducks for all the bad messages about industrialized food. The fact that we allow that to go on is horrifying.”

“Writing about food is my default.”

“My idea of good living is not about eating high on the hog. Rather, to me, good living means understanding how food connects us to the earth.”

“Really, the only way to face the biggest problems we have is for the government to change the way they subsidize food. The way we subsidize food makes it cheaper to go to McDonald's and get a hamburger than a salad, and that's insane.”

“My mother's father was a doctor, and she desperately wanted to be a doctor.”

“For me, cooking is a way to try and please people and tell them I love them. When I fall in love with someone, I want to feed them as well.”

“There are no Rabbits in the north-west. This statement, far from final, is practically true today, but I saw plenty of Lynxes, and one cannot write of ducks without mentioning water.”

“What's funny is I still, more than anything, get recognized for 'The Mighty Ducks.' I love it. When I was younger, I would get embarrassed. I played sports growing up, and I'd be playing baseball, and the other team would be quacking at me and stuff.”

“When I was a kid, I was in all 'The Mighty Ducks' movies, and that sort of created this weird thing when I was very young. And luckily, I had a lot of really good friends and family that kept me from, I guess, going down a more negative path that actors can go down.”

“When we get off the line in skating we kind of look like little ducks running.”

“I watched 'Mighty Ducks.' 'Slapshot' when I was a little older.”

“Just getting young kids excited about hockey, then they'll want to skate, they'll want to start joining junior leagues, they'll want to play in high school, etc., so we're trying to expand at all levels. That's good for the sport, and it's good for the Ducks long term.”
