There are many people who don't do well on a vegetarian or vegan diet, that for them, meat is a very nutritious food. So, I'm not prepared to give up meat. I don't think we need to give up meat, but we certainly need to change the way we raise meat and diminish the amount of it in our diet.

The environment is not just around you, it's passing through you.
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
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
Perhaps more than any other, the food industry is very sensitive to consumer demand.
Michael Pollan
Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself.
Michael Pollan
Were the walls of our meat industry to become transparent, literally or even figuratively, we would not long continue to raise, kill, and eat animals the way we do.
Michael Pollan
