“Everyone has foods that take them on mental journeys.” — Chris Morocco Quote

Everyone has foods that take them on mental journeys.

I would rather have 1/4 of a cookie for four days than a big cookie on day one followed by three days with nothing - this has been documented by my colleagues.

While a lot of milk chocolate just so happens to be poor quality, milk chocolate itself is not the problem.

My first foray into meatless burgers was BA's Best Veggie Burger, a no-holds-barred, maximalist veggie burger in the style of Superiority Burger. A year later I followed that up with a black-bean tofu burger designed to stand up to the high heat of the grill. So what was there left to say? Plenty.

When you eat whole foods, you feel satisfied.

I don't like venison or sushi - I don't want to eat what some people think are 'luxurious' foods.

I like healthful foods, but I'm from the Midwest, so I like food that's been around longer.

I hate jet lag, but I love, love, love, love traveling - to meet new people, to try different foods because I'm a big foodie. I love food, even though people think models don't eat. We do eat.

Good leaders need to be able to connect to all of those around them. This is especially true at Whole Foods, where we have a very team-oriented culture.
