"The Times has much less power than you think. I believe we attribute power to the media generally that it simply doesn't have. It's very convenient to blame the media, the same way we blame television for everything that's going wrong in society."

"Every major food company now has an organic division. There's more capital going into organic agriculture than ever before."

Food

"Researchers have found that people (and animals) presented with large portions will eat up to 30 percent more than they could otherwise. Human appetite, it turns out, is surprisingly elastic, which makes excellent evolutionary sense: It behooved our hunter gatherer ancestors to feast whenever the opportunity presented itself, allowing them to build up reserves of fat against future famine."

Evolution

"Reversing the historical trajectory of human eating, for this meal the forest would be feeding us again."

Nature

"My native tense is future conditional, a low simmer of unspecified worry being the usual condition."

Anxiety

"Unlike any other form of thought, daydreaming is its own reward."

Imagination

"Tree planting is always a utopian enterprise, it seems to me, a wager on a future the planter doesn't necessarily expect to witness."

Environment

"I mean, we're really making a quantum change in our relationship to the plant world with genetic modification."

Change

"Leave something on your plate... 'Better to go to waste than to waist."

Life

"Curiously, the one bodily fluid of other people that doesn't disgust us is the one produced by the human alone: tears. Consider the sole type of used tissue you'd be willing to share."

Behavior

"Before I started writing about food, my focus was really on the human relationship to plants. Not only do plants nourish us bodily - they nourish us psychologically."
