More quotes by Michael Pollan
Farms produce a lot more than food they also produce a kind of landscape and a kind of community.
Michael Pollan
Cooking (from scratch) is the single most important thing we could do as a family to improve our health and general well-being.
Michael Pollan
Perhaps more than any other, the food industry is very sensitive to consumer demand.
Michael Pollan
[Government] regulation is an imperfect substitute for the accountability, and trust, built into a market in which food producers meet the gaze of eaters and vice versa.
Michael Pollan
When you go to the grocery store, you find that the cheapest calories are the ones that are going to make you the fattest - the added sugars and fats in processed foods.
Michael Pollan
Tree planting is always a utopian enterprise, it seems to me, a wager on a future the planter doesn't necessarily expect to witness.
Michael Pollan
A growing body of research suggests that many of the health problems associated with eating beef are really problems with corn-fed beef.
Michael Pollan
People have traditionally turned to ritual to help them frame and acknowledge and ultimately even find joy in just such a paradox of being human - in the fact that so much of what we desire for our happiness and need for our survival comes at a heavy cost.
Michael Pollan
Why don't we pay more attention to who our farmers are? We would never be as careless choosing an auto mechanic or babysitter as we are about who grows our food.
Michael Pollan
Without such a thing as fast food, there would be no need for slow food.
Michael Pollan
Every major food company now has an organic division. There's more capital going into organic agriculture than ever before.
Michael Pollan
It's estimated that about 30 percent of the increase in grain prices could be attributed to the decision to embrace biofuels, particularly corn-based ethanol. It has done nothing for climate change and the business is in real trouble now with the collapse of oil prices. It's completely dependent on a dollar subsidy and tariff from the government.
Michael Pollan
I realize that at a certain point if we're going to change our food system, it's going to be the next generation that's going to be critical. This generation is very interested in food issues, very concerned about things like animal welfare and the impact of the food system on the environment.
Michael Pollan
I try to write in the first person - the first person not of a journalist but of a carnivore, an eater, a gardener, someone trying to figure out what to feed his family.
Michael Pollan
It has become much harder, in the past century, to tell where the garden leaves off and pure nature begins.
Michael Pollan
The things journalists should pay attention to are the issues the political leadership agrees on, rather than to their supposed antagonisms.
Michael Pollan
My work has also motivated me to put a lot of time into seeking out good food and to spend more money on it.
Michael Pollan
The first step towards solving the omnivore's dilemma is knowledge: eating with full consciousness. When that happens, I have a lot of confidence that people will make good choices.
Michael Pollan
The corporatization of something as basic and intimate as eating is, for many of us today, a good place to draw the line.
Michael Pollan
Food is not just fuel. Food is about family, food is about community, food is about identity. And we nourish all those things when we eat well.
Michael Pollan
