Michael Pollan
Eat mostly plants, especially leaves.

Michael Pollan
If you're cooking food, you don't have to count calories.
Michael Pollan

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
A lawn is nature under totalitarian rule.
