More quotes by Joel Salatin
If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing poorly first.
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
Remember, machines don't forgive.
Joel Salatin
That many if not most people...who want fresh leafy greens in January buy them at the supermarket after they've been bleached and plastic-bag shipped from California or beyond is not a tribute to modern technology it's an unprecedented abdication of personal responsibility and a ubiquitous benchmark of abnormality.
Joel Salatin
It's a foolish culture that entrusts its food supply to simpletons.
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
Even if you don't eat at a fast food restaurant, you're now eating food that's produced by this system.
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
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
You, as a food buyer, have the distinct privilege of proactively participating in shaping the world your children will inherit.
Joel Salatin
If you think the price of organic food is expensive, have you priced cancer lately.
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
We should be rolling in the dirt, gardening, wrestling with some brambles and skinning animals for supper. These are important immune system builders.
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
The notion that processed food is cheap and integrity foods are prohibitively expensive is simply not true.
Joel Salatin
The shorter the chain between raw food and fork, the fresher it is and the more transparent the system is.
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
Nobody trusts the industrial food system to give them good food.
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
Nobody walks well first, nobody writes well first and nobody cooks well first.
