• Una sorpresa es lo profundamente implicado que está el sistema alimentario en el cambio climático. No creo que la gente lo haya tenido en cuenta hasta hace muy poco. Entre el 25% y el 33% de los gases del cambio climático pueden atribuirse al sistema alimentario. También me sorprendió que las enfermedades que damos por sentado que nos matarán (cardiopatías, cáncer, diabetes) eran prácticamente desconocidas hace 150 años, antes de que empezáramos a comer de esta manera.

• Una de las cosas más poderosas del tema de la comida es que la gente se siente poderosa por ello. Hay tantas áreas de nuestra vida en las que nos sentimos impotentes para cambiar las cosas, pero tus problemas de alimentación son realmente primarios. Cada día decides lo que vas a meter en tu cuerpo y lo que te niegas a meter. Eso es política en su forma más básica.

• Our ingenuity in feeding ourselves is prodigious, but at various points our technologies come into conflict with nature's ways of doing things, as when we seek to maximize efficiency by planting crops or raising animals in vast mono-cultures. This is something nature never does, always and for good reasons practicing diversity instead. A great many of the health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts to oversimplify nature's complexities, at both the growing and the eating ends of our food chain.

• 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.

• 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.

• Un historiador natural es alguien que observa algo en términos de su relación con el resto del mundo natural. Las cosas se miran desde el punto de vista ecológico. Cuando ves una vaca en un cebadero, no ves sólo una vaca, ves una vaca que come ciertos alimentos. Sigues ese alimento y ese alimento te lleva de vuelta a un campo de maíz.

• The issue of snacking is complicated. In principle, "grazing" is probably a good idea. It would even out the insulin spikes and things like that from eating large meals. The problem is it makes it harder for people to control the amount they're eating.

• Cooking for yourself is the only sure way to take back control of your diet from the food scientists and food processors, and to guarantee you're eating real food rather than edible foodlike substances, with their unhealthy oils, high-fructose corn syrup, and surfeit of salt.

• Everything we eat begins with a plant turning solar energy into carbohydrates. Everything. Whether we're eating meat or eating vegetables, it all begins there. So I'm always interested in taking things back to the beginning.

• 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.

• 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.
