More quotes by 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
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
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
Man is by definition the first and primary weed. Weeds are not the other. Weeds are us.
Michael Pollan
A garden should make you feel you've entered privileged space -- a place not just set apart but reverberant -- and it seems to me that, to achieve this, the gardener must put some kind of twist on the existing landscape, turn its prose into something nearer poetry.
Michael Pollan
If you can't pronounce it, you shouldn't be eating it.
Michael Pollan
If it came from a plant, eat it if it was made in a plant, don't.
Michael Pollan
I think using waste oils as fuel makes sense. We do waste a huge amount of vegetable oil in this country and using that as a fuel source strikes me as fine.
Michael Pollan
Eat foods made from ingredients that you can picture in their raw state or growing in nature.
Michael Pollan
So that's us: processed corn, walking.
Michael Pollan
We all have different priorities. There's no one single set of ethical rules.
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
Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. That, more or less, is the short answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated and confusing question of what we humans should eat in order to be maximally healthy.
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
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
The only one I have any trust in is storytelling - there's a couple I have a lot of trust in.
Michael Pollan
One of the powerful things about the food issue is that people feel empowered by it. There are so many areas of our life where we feel powerless to change things, but your eating issues are really primal. You decide every day what you're going to put in your body and what you refuse to put in your body. That's politics at its most basic.
Michael Pollan
Eat more like the French. Or the Japanese. Or the Italians. Or the Greeks.
Michael Pollan
Rule No. 12: shop the peripheries of the supermarket and stay out of the middle.
Michael Pollan
Culture, when it comes to food, is of course a fancy word for your mom.
