“This is the problem with the population, everybody wants all the freedom in the world, but none of the responsibility that goes along with it. And such a society is no more advanced than a bunch of cave people.”

“That eating should be foremost about bodily health is a relatively new and, I think, destructive idea-destructive not just the pleasure of eating, which would be bad enough, but paradoxically of our health as well. Indeed, no people on earth worry more about the health consequences of their food choices than we Americans-and no people suffer from as many diet-related problems. We are becoming a nation of orthorexics: people with an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating.”
― In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto
