More quotes by Joel Salatin
You, as a food buyer, have the distinct privilege of proactively participating in shaping the world your children will inherit.
Joel Salatin
The notion that processed food is cheap and integrity foods are prohibitively expensive is simply not true.
Joel Salatin
Remember, machines don't forgive.
Joel Salatin
From zoning to labor to food safety to insurance, local food systems daily face a phalanx of regulatory hurdles designed and implemented to police industrial food models but which prejudicially wipe out the antidote: appropriate scaled local food systems.
Joel Salatin
How dare you treat your soil like dirt!
Joel Salatin
Even if you don't eat at a fast food restaurant, you're now eating food that's produced by this system.
Joel Salatin
Nobody trusts the industrial food system to give them good food.

How many of us lobby for green energy or protected lands, but don't engage with the local bounty to lay by for tomorrow's unseasonal reality? That we tend to not even think about this as a foundation for solutions in our food systems shows how quickly we want other people to solve these issues.
Joel Salatin
I don't want to sound too mystical or weird but it's important to know what garlic smells like when it's cooking, or what eggs look like when they're cracked out of a shell.
Joel Salatin
The shorter the chain between raw food and fork, the fresher it is and the more transparent the system is.

If you think the price of organic food is expensive, have you priced cancer lately.
Joel Salatin
'Organic' doesn't mean what people think it means.
Joel Salatin
If we fail to appreciate the soul that Easternism gives us, then what we have is a disconnected, Greco-Roman, Western, egocentric, compartmentalized, reductionist, fragmented, linear thought process that counts on cleverness.
Joel Salatin
A culture that just views a pig as a pile of protoplasmic inanimate structure, and can be manipulated by whatever creative design humans can foist upon that critter, will probably view individuals within its community and other cultures in the community of nations, with the same type of disdain and disrespect and controlling-type mentality.
Joel Salatin
Know you food, know your farmers, and know your kitchen.
Joel Salatin
While vegans and meat-eaters disagree, we can all be united in our fear and hatred for the horror that is factory farming.
Joel Salatin
Get in your kitchens, buy unprocessed foods, turn off the TV, and prepare your own foods. This is liberating.
Joel Salatin
The average person is still under the aberrant delusion that food should be somebody else's responsibility until I'm ready to eat it.
Joel Salatin
You wanna get diarrhoea? Eat industrial food.
Joel Salatin
The industrial food system is so cruel and so horrific in its treatment of animals. It never asks the question: 'Should a pig be allowed to express its pig-ness?'
