Rule No. 12: shop the peripheries of the supermarket and stay out of the middle.
Michael Pollan
Any kind of food you eat is going to have an impact on the world. If you switch to tofu and get off meat, the soy bean is doing enormous damage in the Amazon and all throughout South America.

Are we, finally, speaking of nature or culture when we speak of a rose (nature), that has been bred (culture) so that its blossoms (nature) make men imagine (culture) the sex of women (nature)? It may be this sort of confusion that we need more of.

It's more important that you eat vegetables, even if they are conventional -- I'm talking about for your health -- then it is until you wait until you can afford organic, or you can find organic.
Michael Pollan
Johnny Appleseed was revered . . he was . . . an evangelist (of a doctrine veering perilously close to pantheism).
Michael Pollan
It's really important for your health, because you will never use as much salt and fat and sugar as a corporation will use cooking for you.
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
The correlation between poverty and obesity can be traced to agricultural policies and subsidies.
Michael Pollan
You want to say the thing that will drive everybody in the direction you want to go. But as a writer you have a pact with your readers that you'll be really straight with them at all times.
Michael Pollan
When chickens get to live like chickens, they'll taste like chickens, too.
Michael Pollan
The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.
Michael Pollan
Not everyone can afford to eat well in America, which is a literal shame, but most of us can: Americans spend less than 10 percent of their income on food, less than the citizens of any other nation.
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.
