Food is not simply nutritional cocaine that I'm injecting in my body. It is about a relationship I have with myself, how I see myself, what I want from myself.

Unless we take care of the society we live in, there won't be any society left to support our businesses. We have to give as much as we extract.

Any startling piece of work has a subversive element in it, a delicious element often. Subversion is only disagreeable when it manifests in political or social activity.

All this green stuff is great, it's great we don't have plastic bottles or plastic bags and all of that, but how about some great schools?
