Indeed, there is every reason to believe that corn has succeeded in domesticating us.
Michael Pollan
The two things are synergistic, the health care crisis and the food crisis. Right now, to a large extent, the food industry's biggest product is patients for the health care industry and we have to break that.
Michael Pollan
For great many species today, fitness means the ability to get along in a world in which humankind has become the most powerful evolutionary force.
Michael Pollan
There is nothing wrong with special occasion foods, as long as every day is not a special occasion.
Michael Pollan
