Grass-fed cattle are leaner. But it's not true that they are less flavorful.

I think health is the outcome of finding a balance and some satisfaction at the table.

A lot of equipment can get in the way of the connection with food, with touching and feeling.

We've been so disconnected agriculturally and culturally from food. We spend more time on dieting than on cooking.

It's around the table and in the preparation of food that we learn about ourselves and about the world.

I eat meat, but no meat that isn't pastured is acceptable, and we probably need to eat a whole lot less.

To have a basic ingredient that can be prepared a million different ways is a beautiful thing.

When you have good ingredients, cooking doesn't require a lot of instruction because you can never go very wrong.

My real emphasis is on the farmers who are taking care of the land, the farmers who are really thinking about our nourishment.

Organize yourself so you aren't struggling to shop at the last minute. When you have real food, it's very easy to cook.

If we want children to learn to tend the land and nourish themselves and have conversations at the table, we need to communicate with them in ways that are positive.

The way we subsidize food makes it cheaper to go to McDonald's and get a hamburger than a salad, and that's insane. It's pure government policy.

It's hard to come into a new relationship with food unless you're engaged in an interactive way at an early age; it's hard to change your values.

Americans don't have deep gastronomic roots. They wanted to get away from the cultures of Europe or wherever they came from. We stirred up that melting pot pretty quickly.

I feel that good food should be a right and not a privilege, and it needs to be without pesticides and herbicides. And everybody deserves this food. And that's not elitist.

In Berkeley, we built the garden and a kitchen classroom. We've been working on it for 12 years. We've learned a lot from it. If kids grow it and cook it, they eat it.

If we don't preserve the natural resources, you aren't going to have a sustainable society. This is not something for Chez Panisse and the elite of San Francisco. It's for everyone.

I don't think it ever works to tell people what they can't eat. They can do it for so long, and then they fall off. You have to bring them into a new relationship with food.

First, kids should be involved in the production of their own food. They have to get their hands in the dirt, they have to grow things. They also have to become sensually stimulated, and the way to begin is with a bakery.

We all need to know how to cook. I can buy a chicken and have many meals come from it. Is it affordable? Yes. Cheap? No. I want to pay the farmers the right price for food. They deserve it. They are the most important people in the country besides our teachers.

I'm focused on the next generation, because I think it's very hard to break the habit of adults who've got salt and sugar addictions and just ways of being in this world. It's very hard even for the most enlightened people at famous universities that are very wealthy to spend the money that it takes to feed the students something delicious.
