More quotes by Michael Pollan
Eat foods made from ingredients that you can picture in their raw state or growing in nature.
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
Tree planting is always a utopian enterprise, it seems to me, a wager on a future the planter doesn't necessarily expect to witness.
Michael Pollan
The larger meaning here is that mainstream journalists simply cannot talk about things that the two parties agree on this is the black hole of American politics.
Michael Pollan
We all have different priorities. There's no one single set of ethical rules.
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
People don't eat nutrients, they eat foods, and foods can behave very differently than the nutrients they contain.
Michael Pollan

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
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
Avoid foods you see advertised on television.
Michael Pollan
We spend a remarkably small, shamefully small, percentage of our income on food. We manage to spend money on lots of other things. All up and down the social ladder you find people with plenty of money for cell phones, home entertainment systems, all other forms of entertainment.
Michael Pollan
People who snack sometimes sometimes eat kind of thoughtlessly and end up eating a lot more. But in principle, it's a really good idea if you can exert the kind of discipline needed.
Michael Pollan
It has become much harder, in the past century, to tell where the garden leaves off and pure nature begins.
Michael Pollan
I agree insofar as we eat too much meat. We're eating about 200 pounds per person per year. That's about 9 ounces a day. That's probably more than is good for us and it's certainly more than is good for the environment.
Michael Pollan
The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.
Michael Pollan
The wonderful thing about food is you get three votes a day. Every one of them has the potential to change the world.
Michael Pollan
A vegan in a Hummer has a lighter carbon footprint than a beef eater in a Prius.
Michael Pollan
There is nothing wrong with special occasion foods, as long as every day is not a special occasion.
Michael Pollan
We're supposed to show people how the world is, to give them the tools they need to make good decisions as citizens or consumers. Depending on what your values are - the environment, your health, animal welfare - the answers are going to be different for every person.
