More quotes by Michael Pollan
I try very hard to tell stories and not lecture. I try to approach things as an amateur and not an expert, so that when I'm doing something, I'm starting out in a place a lot like where my readers start out - which is to say, naïve.
Michael Pollan
Eating's not a bad way to get to know a place.
Michael Pollan
It has become much harder, in the past century, to tell where the garden leaves off and pure nature begins.
Michael Pollan
There’s an assumption that if someone writes in the first person it’s self-indulgent and self-regarding. I just look at it as a tool to understand the world and my experience in it. It’s not a tool to understand myself.
Michael Pollan
Now that I know how supermarket meat is made, I regard eating it as a somewhat risky proposition. I know how those animals live and what's on their hides when they go to slaughter, so I don't buy industrial meat.
Michael Pollan
One of the most irresponsible things we can do is eat in ignorance, without any awareness of what our eating is doing to the world or to other species.
Michael Pollan
There is nothing wrong with special occasion foods, as long as every day is not a special occasion.
Michael Pollan
Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself.
Michael Pollan
All money for agricultural extension, land grant universities has been toward developing industrial food. Lots of money has been invested toward maximizing yield. If you took even a small amount of that money and put it toward organic research, I don't have any doubts you could match those yields.
Michael Pollan
Fairness forces you - even when you're writing a piece highly critical of, say, genetically modified food, as I have done - to make sure you represent the other side as extensively and as accurately as you possibly can.
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
The environment is not just around you, it's passing through you.
Michael Pollan
My hope is that if people have the knowledge, and if they actually see where their food comes from and have access to the information, they will make better ethical choices.
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
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 energy I was sensing in audiences was political energy, as much as anything else.
Michael Pollan
Even people who like the kind of food on offer, are coming to recognize that eating from this food chain is not conducive to good health.
Michael Pollan
If it came from a plant, eat it if it was made in a plant, don't.
Michael Pollan
The correlation between poverty and obesity can be traced to agricultural policies and subsidies.
Michael Pollan
We are at once the problem and the only possible solution to the problem.
