“Extinction was a difficult concept for a 10-year-old.” — Nell Newman Quote

Extinction was a difficult concept for a 10-year-old.

To grow a tomato or a pepper and prepare a meal from your labor and care is primordially satisfying.

When I was at home, I always cooked, and I usually cook over all the holidays. I always used organic.

My background is in biology. Before getting into the family business, I worked at the Predatory Bird Research Group at the University of California at Santa Cruz, fundraising for them.

Have you ever read the back of the Newman's Diavolo pasta sauce? Dad on the front is dressed like the devil with a little beard and horns. He says that he sells his soul to the devil for the recipe. It was banned in the South. They thought it was an abomination.

Hatred is a feeling which leads to the extinction of values.

Humans regard animals as worthy of protection only when they are on the verge of extinction.

Shouldn't the cascades of extinction and rapid planetary warming register in our literature?

You need not fear my extinction. Fear my proliferation! I've already reproduced!
