Michael Pollan Quotes

The wonderful thing about food is you get three votes a day. Every one of them has the potential to change the world Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Cooking might be the most important factor in fixing our public health crisis. It’s the single most important thing you can do for your health Picture Quote #1

Don’t ingest foods made in places where everyone is required to wear a surgical cap Picture Quote #1

Design in nature is but a concatenation of accidents, culled by natural selection until the result is so beautiful or effective as to seem a miracle of purpose Picture Quote #1

For we would no longer need any reminding that however we choose to feed ourselves, we eat by the grace of nature, not industry, and what we’re eating is never anything more or less than the body of the world Picture Quote #1

Another thing cooking is, or can be, is a way to honor the things we’re eating, the animals and plants and fungi that have been sacrificed to gratify our needs and desires, as well as the places and the people that produced them. Cooks have their ways of saying grace too... Cooking something thoughtfully is a way to celebrate both that species and our relation to it Picture Quote #1

Imagine if we had a food system that actually produced wholesome food. Imagine if it produced that food in a way that restored the land. Imagine if we could eat every meal knowing these few simple things: What it is we’re eating. Where it came from. How it found its way to our table. And what it really cost. If that was the reality, then every meal would have the potential to be a perfect meal Picture Quote #1

Cheap food is an illusion. There is no such thing as cheap food. The real cost of the food is paid somewhere. And if it isn’t paid at the cash register, it’s charged to the environment or to the public purse in the form of subsidies. And it’s charged to your health Picture Quote #1

There’s something magical that happens when people eat from the same pot. The family meal is really the nursery of democracy. It’s where we learn to share; it’s where we learn to argue without offending. It’s just too critical to let go, as we’ve been so blithely doing Picture Quote #1

Food is also about pleasure, about community, about family and spirituality, about our relationship to the natural world, and about expressing our identity. As long as humans have been taking meals together, eating has been as much about culture as it has been about biology Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
