More quotes by Michael Pollan
Man is by definition the first and primary weed. Weeds are not the other. Weeds are us.
Michael Pollan
We are what we eat, it is often said, but of course that's only part of the story. We are what what we eat eats too.
Michael Pollan
The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.
Michael Pollan
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
Corn is the hero of its own story, and though we humans played a crucial supporting role in its rise to world domination, it would be wrong to suggest we have been calling the shots, or acting always in our own best interests. Indeed, there is every reason to believe that corn has succeeded in domesticating us.
Michael Pollan
Rule No.37 The whiter the bread, the sooner you’ll be dead.
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
A growing and increasingly influential movement of philosophers, ethicists, law professors and activists are convinced that the great moral struggle of our time will be for the rights of animals.
Michael Pollan
There are certain products that it's worth buying organic just because the alternatives have so much pesticide. There's a list of the dirty dozen that you can get off the Web. Strawberries, potatoes. A handful of crops that have very high pesticide residues if you don't buy organic. If you eat that a lot, that's a good place to invest.
Michael Pollan
The short, unhappy life of a corn-fed feedlot steer represents the ultimate triumph of industrial thinking over the logic of evolution.
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
The energy I was sensing in audiences was political energy, as much as anything else.
Michael Pollan
But human deciding what to eat without professional guidance - something they have been doing with notable success since coming down out of the trees - is seriously unprofitable if you're a food company, a definite career loser if you're nutritionist, and just plain boring if you're a newspaper editor or reporter.
Michael Pollan
There's no sacrifice in eating well, there is no sacrifice in pleasure. To the contrary, the best-grown food is actually the tastiest.
Michael Pollan
The history of modern nutritionism has been a history of macronutrients at war: protein against carbs carbs against proteins, and then fats fats against carbs.
Michael Pollan
Much more has to be done to democratize the food movement. One of the reasons that healthy food is more expensive than unhealthy food is that the government supports unhealthy food and does very little to support healthy food, whether you mean organic or grass-fed or whatever.
Michael Pollan
I think that the American diet is a very large part of the reason we're spending 2.3 trillion dollar per year on health care in this country. 75% of that money goes to treat chronic diseases, preventable chronic diseases, most of those are linked to diet.
Michael Pollan
To eat with a fuller consciousness of all that is at stake might sound like a burden, but in practice few things in life afford quite as much satisfaction.
Michael Pollan
The whole of nature is a conjugation of the verb to eat, in the active and passive.
Michael Pollan
There is nothing wrong with special occasion foods, as long as every day is not a special occasion.
Michael Pollan
