More quotes by 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
Farms and food production should be, I submit, at least as important as who pierced their navel in Hollywood this week. Please tell me I'm not the only one who believes this. Please. As a culture, we think we're well educated, but I'm not sure that what we've learned necessarily helps us survive.
Joel Salatin
The stronger a culture, the less it fears the radical fringe. The more paranoid and precarious a culture, the less tolerance it offers.
Joel Salatin
It's a foolish culture that entrusts its food supply to simpletons.
Joel Salatin
The notion that processed food is cheap and integrity foods are prohibitively expensive is simply not true.
Joel Salatin
Nobody trusts the industrial food system to give them good food.
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
I'm a Christian-libertarian-environmentalist-capitalist-lunatic. It's a humorous way for me to describe that I'm not stereotypical.
Joel Salatin
If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing poorly first.
Joel Salatin
Know you food, know your farmers, and know your kitchen.
Joel Salatin
The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946. That is not very long ago. Until then, where was all the food? Dear folks, the food was in homes, gardens, local fields, and forests. It was near kitchens, near tables, near bedsides. It was in the pantry, the cellar, the backyard.
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
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
Don't you find it odd that people will put more work into choosing their mechanic or house contractor than they will into choosing the person who grows their food?
Joel Salatin
Get in your kitchens, buy unprocessed foods, turn off the TV, and prepare your own foods. This is liberating.
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?'
Joel Salatin
Just because we can ship organic lettuce from the Salinas Valley, or organic cut flowers from Peru, doesn't mean we should do it, not if we're really serious about energy and seasonality and bioregionalism.
Joel Salatin
You wanna get diarrhoea? Eat industrial food.
Joel Salatin
Even if you don't eat at a fast food restaurant, you're now eating food that's produced by this system.
