| Adam Richman | There's no way that I could have known about a 72-oz. steak challenge in Amarillo unless thousands upon thousands of locals and travellers alike had attempted it. I guess if 'Man V Food' is me paying homage to these legends, then I suppose 'Man V Food Nation' is the legacy. | 101 |

| Ban Ki-moon | Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth... these are one and the same fight.

| bell hooks | There is no life to be found in violence. Every act of violence brings us closer to death.

| James A. Michener | If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay at home. | 101 |
| Jamie Oliver | The kitchen oven is reliable, but it's made us lazy. | 101 |
| Joel Salatin | Despite all the hype about local or green food, the single biggest impediment to wider adoption is not research, programs, organizations, or networking. It is the demonizing and criminalizing of virtually all indigenous and heritage-based food practices. | 101 |
| Kate Christensen | Food is not a means toward resolution. It can't cure heartbreak or solve untenable dilemmas. | 101 |

| Nick Harkaway | Being a parent is weird. It changes people in subtle and unsubtle ways. In my case, it awoke a kind of manic sentinel in my brain. Anything in the house that might be a threat to the kids or to my wife gets terminated - food, sharp edges, poor wiring. | 101 |
| Nicole Ari Parker | We're all moving at such a high rate that we have to grab the frozen dinners and the McDonald's.

| Greg van Eekhout | In high school, I stole a six-foot submarine sandwich from a banquet room in front of several hundred people.

| Nicholas Stern | I think that once people understand the great risks that climate change poses, they will naturally want to choose products and services that cause little or no emissions of greenhouse gases, which means 'low-carbon consumption.' This will apply across the board, including electricity, heating, transport and food. | 101 |
| Nina Fedoroff | There's almost no food that isn't genetically modified. Genetic modification is the basis of all evolution. Things change because our planet is subjected to a lot of radiation, which causes DNA damage, which gets repaired, but results in mutations, which create a ready mixture of plants that people can choose from to improve agriculture. | 101 |
| Noureen DeWulf | Yoga is the most boring exercise. It's for people who are too lazy to get on the elliptical. Bikram, where they heat up the room to mimic India's climate, is especially stupid.

| Ruta Sepetys | New Orleans is unlike any city in America. Its cultural diversity is woven into the food, the music, the architecture - even the local superstitions. It's a sensory experience on all levels and there's a story lurking around every corner. | 101 |
| Thomas Keller | Hopefully, imparting what's important to me, respect for the food and that information about the purveyors, people will realize that for a restaurant to be good, so many pieces have to come together. | 101 |
| Tyler Florence | First and foremost I am a chef, whether behind the stove at one of my Northern California restaurants or for the past 15 years in front of the camera on my Food Network cooking shows.

| Lisa Scottoline | I love everything about Philadelphia, and its food is like the city itself: real-deal, hearty, and without pretension. We've always had an underdog vibe as a city, but that just makes us try harder, and I love our scrappiness and scruffiness. | 101 |
| Michael Moss | Every time the good giants try to cut back on salt, sugar, fat calories, inevitably Wall Street raises its hand and is looking at the sales figures and the revenue and saying, 'Thou shalt not result in any loss of profit.' There's huge continuing pressure on the food companies. | 101 |
| Nicole Eggert | For all the concern about bodies and weight, 'Baywatch' has three huge catering trucks on the set at all times. One for entrees, one appetizers and one for junk food. | 101 |

| Shilpa Shetty | I love Chinese food, like steamed dim sum, and I can have noodles morning, noon and night, hot or cold. I like food that's very simple on the digestive system - I tend to keep it light. I love Japanese food too - sushi, sashimi and miso soup. | 101 |
| Shmuel Yosef Agnon | If we eat any food, or drink any beverage, we must recite a blessing over them before and after. | 101 |
| Sue Townsend | I always have this image of a woman running across a desert carrying children, trying to find water and food, not knowing when they'll get that.

| W. L. George | Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement, and love without penalties. | 101 |

| Dwayne Andreas | We're the biggest food and agriculture company in the world. | 101 |

| Ellen Gustafson | The abundance of cheap food with low nutritional value in the Western diet has wreaked havoc on our health; in America, one third of children and two thirds of adults are overweight or obese and are more likely to develop diabetes and cardiovascular disease. | 101 |
| George Mikes | On the Continent people have good food; in England people have good table manners. | 101 |

| Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin | Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are. | 101 |
| Jerry Greenfield | Ice cream is the perfect buffer, because you can do things in a somewhat lighthearted way. Plus, people have an emotional response to ice cream; it's more than just food. So I think when you combine caring, and eating wonderful food, it's a very powerful combination. | 101 |
| Ken Baumann | I don't eat fast food often, but I love tacos. I could write prophetically about how perfect the taco is. | 101 |
| Lin Yutang | Our lives are not in the lap of the gods, but in the lap of our cooks. | 101 |

| Mike Johanns | Food safety involves everybody in the food chain. | 101 |
| Paul Goodman | There is such a thing as food and such a thing as poison. But the damage done by those who pass off poison as food is far less than that done by those who generation after generation convince people that food is poison. | 101 |
| Regis Philbin | It's almost seems as though there's a battle going on between the public and all the fast-food establishments, and, believe me, I think it's very tasty food. | 101 |
| Roman Coppola | Japan is the most intoxicating place for me. In Kyoto, there's an inn called the Tawaraya which is quite extraordinary. The Japanese culture fascinates me: the food, the dress, the manners and the traditions. It's the travel experience that has moved me the most. | 101 |
| Ron Finley | People in my neighborhood are so disconnected from the fresh food supply that kids don't know an eggplant from a sweet potato. We have to show them how to get grounded in the truest sense of the word. | 101 |
| Sebastian Faulks | There aren't many great passages written about food, but I love one by George Millar, who worked for the SOE in the second world war and wrote a book called 'Horned Pigeon.' He had been on the run and hadn't eaten for a week, and his description of the cheese fondue he smells in the peasant kitchen of a house in eastern France is unbelievable. | 101 |
| Star Jones | I can get whatever I want to eat and when you, you know, you forget to eat you sometimes pick up fast food. | 101 |

| Dom DeLuise | I think I was immediately fed, so food became a very important part of my life. | 101 |
| Doris Roberts | Humor is imperative, more important than food. You have a choice when someone dies. You can lie down or get back into life. Do something for someone else. | 101 |
| Elsa Schiaparelli | Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale. | 101 |
| Gelila Bekele | Life is a perspective and for me, if a human being has access to school, clean water, food, proper health care, that is the basis of human rights. | 101 |
| James Beard | Food is our common ground, a universal experience. | 101 |
| Jonathan Dimbleby | Food is about communal togetherness. Our family does sit at the table. I think it's a great tragedy if a family doesn't have a table, as there is such an atmosphere of good will and warmth when we have eight people sitting around it. | 101 |
| M. Ward | My grandparents are from Mexico, so I grew up with great Mexican food. | 101 |
| Mickey Gilley | If you have good food, people will come to your restaurant. | 101 |
| Richard J. Roberts | Modern genetic engineering makes producing GMO food products relatively easy. GMOs can improve crop yield and greatly enhance the nutritional value of those same crops. | 101 |
| Sarah Wayne Callies | I'm learning to hunt with rifles, because if you think about it, hunting gets you the healthiest meat - organic, free-range food. It's a totally yuppie spin on what I thought was kind of a redneck occupation. | 101 |
| Sasha Roiz | Portland's as good a place as any. The food is good, the people are nice. I'm in love with it. | 101 |
| Steve Kanaly | We'd go out in Larry's hippie van and drive out all around Dallas. He loved Chinese food, he'd go in and say. Remember me Major Nelson, me and my friends here are making this show called Dallas, have you got a table for us? It would work every time. | 101 |
| Arthur Potts Dawson | My food hero has to be Auguste Escoffier. And the villain? The man who's been most responsible for the death of food in my time is Ronald McDonald. He's always scared me, I think he's evil - he's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Him and the Hamburglar. | 101 |
| Louise Fresco | Food, in the end, in our own tradition, is something holy. It's not about nutrients and calories. It's about sharing. It's about honesty. It's about identity. | 101 |
| Sonia Rykiel | At hotels, you are an actress. Absolutely. You can do what you want. Go where you want. I love my home too. But I love to arrive in a hotel. They have books, chocolate, food. I put things in the little refrigerator. | 101 |
| Susan Lucci | I love spaghetti and meatballs... I eat a lot. | 101 |
| Deng Ming-Dao | The traditional family table is round. No corners. No sides. No head. No tail. Everything is smooth.

The person farthest away from you is also the person facing you. | 101 |

| Julia Sawalha | It distresses me when I take my seven-year-old nephew out. I cook healthy food, and he wants to go to McDonald's. He doesn't even like the food; he just wants the toys, the Happy Meals. I can't stand to see people walking down the street eating fast food. | 101 |
| Justine Larbalestier | Eating good food is my favourite thing in the whole world. Nothing is more blissful. | 101 |
| Mike Colter | I hate the gym, so I try to diversify my workouts with swimming and basketball. Indoors, it's less boring than running. I do find that diet is key. I eat lots of lean protein, no soda, no fast food or fried foods, and a lot of water. But I love food and often cook. | 101 |
| Ralph Chaplin | It seems the most logical thing in the world to believe that the natural resources of the Earth, upon which the race depends for food, clothing and shelter, should be owned collectively by the race instead of being the private property of a few social parasites. | 101 |
| Ronit Roy | My wife Neelam is a North Indian, so she will make North Indian food, while my mother will make Bengali food. | 101 |
| Adan Canto | I'm a runner. Not a race runner, but I just love to run, and I don't think I've ever tasted such amazing food like I've tasted in the whole entire New York. | 101 |

| John Walters | The only think I like better than talking about Food is eating. | 101 |

| Matt Walsh | I'm a huge fan of Chicago sports and Chicago food, and I love going home and my family is still there. I guess it's pretty easy to have a normal life in Chicago. | 101 |
| Suzanne Weyn | Perfect happiness would be knowing that all my family and friends were happy and safe. Then I'd go to a tropical island with my husband where it was gorgeous and fun all day long and interesting and fun all evening. Good food and dancing would be nice, too, and weekly visits from those safe and happy family and friends. Plus world peace. | 101 |
| Alice Foote MacDougall | Poverty is relative, and the lack of food and of the necessities of life is not necessarily a hardship. Spiritual and social ostracism, the invasion of your privacy, are what constitute the pain of poverty. | 101 |
| Alison McGhee | I'm a big State Fair person, and my main goal is to eat as much food as possible, but I tend not to do the foods on a stick. But I like Big Fat Bacon. | 101 |
| Joseph Hume | In Great Britain the price of food is at a higher level than in any other country, and consequently, the British artisan labours at a disadvantage in proportion to the higher rate of his food. | 101 |
| Megan Abbott | I think there are two prevailing views of the suburbs in the States: either they're this sort of tedious place, where everyone is the same, buys the same food and drives around in their little minivans, or the view is that the suburbs are extremely perverse in a humorous way. | 101 |
| J. Donald Walters | There are realities we all share, regardless of our nationality, language, or individual tastes. As we need food, so do we need emotional nourishment: love, kindness, appreciation, and support from others. | 101 |

| Joshua Ledet | I only eat spicy food. | 101 |
| Erma Bombeck | I come from a family where gravy is considered a beverage. | 102 |
| Thich Nhat Hanh | If you truly get in touch with a piece of carrot, you get in touch with the soil, the rain, the sunshine. You get in touch with Mother Earth and eating in such a way, you feel in touch with true life, your roots, and that is meditation. If we chew every morsel of our food in that way we become grateful and when you are grateful, you are happy. | 102 |
| Anthony Bourdain | Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself. | 102 |
| Bindi Irwin | My favourite thing in the world is going out to get Chinese food, then coming home and renting a movie. | 102 |

| Don Rickles | My life was in Montreal years ago. Best food in the world. | 102 |

| Edna Ferber | Roast beef, medium, is not only a food. It is a philosophy. | 102 |
| Francisco Costa | Milan, for me, is a city of discovery. You can find some amazing gardens behind some great houses; I also love finding beautiful galleries and incredible shops, but you have to explore. And the food is amazing. | 102 |
| Freema Agyeman | I couldn't sustain myself if I skimped on food - I work 16-hour days, I need the energy, I can't afford to be stingy on what I eat. | 102 |
| Hans Rosling | The 1 to 2 billion poorest in the world, who don't have food for the day, suffer from the worst disease: globalization deficiency. The way globalization is occurring could be much better, but the worst thing is not being part of it. For those people, we need to support good civil societies and governments. | 102 |
| Helen Fielding | I like L.A. It's like a mini break. For a writer, it's hilarious. Like the food. Where I come from, we eat chip sandwiches: white bread, butter, tomato catsup and big fat french fries. It's delicious. Here, you order a creme caramel and the waiter says, 'You know, that contains dairy.' | 102 |
| Heston Blumenthal | I was born in the '60s and grew up in the '70s - not exactly the best decade for food in British history. It was horrendous. It was a time when, as a nation, we excelled in art and music and acting and photography and fashion - all creative skills... all apart from cooking. | 102 |
| Howie Mandel | I'm from Canada, so Thanksgiving to me is just Thursday with more food. And I'm thankful for that. | 102 |
| Ignatius of Antioch | I have no taste for corruptible food nor for the pleasures of this life. I desire the Bread of God, which is the Flesh of Jesus Christ, who was of the seed of David, and for drink I desire His Blood, which is love incorruptible. | 102 |
| Jo Brand | Anything is good if it's made of chocolate. | 102 |
| Joel Salatin | A pig has a plow on the end of its nose because it does meaningful work with it. It is built to dig and create soil disturbance, something it can't do in a concentrated feeding environment. The omnivore has historically been a salvage operation for food scraps around the homestead. | 102 |
| Kristin Scott Thomas | In fact, in many ways my mother was quite hippy-dippy, serving macrobiotic food and reading 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.' | 102 |
| Kyle MacLachlan | The most appealing thing to me about food is combining and layering flavors, tastes, and textures. So the perfect sandwich has to be toasted. It has to have Emmenthal Swiss cheese and a combination of sweet and savory - some cranberry or fig thing happening - with different kinds of meats like Black Forest ham and roast beef. | 102 |
| Lewis Mumford | Restore human legs as a means of travel. Pedestrians rely on food for fuel and need no special parking facilities. | 102 |
| Marcus Samuelsson | You have to balance, but you can be aggressive as a chef. It benefits the food. You have to be passionate. You can't be angry cooking. | 102 |
| Margaret Fuller | A house is no home unless it contain food and fire for the mind as well as for the body. | 102 |
| Monica Bellucci | When I eat with my friends, it is a moment of real pleasure, when I really enjoy my life. | 102 |
| Nicholas Hoult | If you're out, and starving, and need a bite to eat, then you need fast food. | 102 |
| Nick Offerman | Meat is a big deal in my life. I do love breakfast food, but I don't think that's extraordinary. I'm a normal American. We love eggs and meat and potatoes and gravy. | 102 |
| Nicole Scherzinger | I don't really believe in diets. I love food... If I deprive myself, I'm going to want it more. I snack on yogurt, raw cashews and cherry tomatoes. | 102 |
| Norman Borlaug | Almost certainly, however, the first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind. | 102 |
| Olga Kurylenko | I just love France, I love French people, I love the French language, I love French food. I love their mentality. I just feel like it's me. I'm very French. | 102 |
| Paul Prudhomme | I think the most wonderful thing in the world is another chef. I'm always excited about learning new things about food. | 102 |
| Peter Benchley | Without sharks, you take away the apex predator of the ocean, and you destroy the entire food chain. | 102 |
| Peter De Vries | Gluttony is an emotional escape, a sign something is eating us. | 102 |
| Robert Mondavi | I always knew that food and wine were vital, with my mother being Italian and a good cook. | 102 |
| Terry Riley | Music can also be a sensual pleasure, like eating food or sex. But its highest vibration for me is that point of taking us to a real understanding of something in our nature which we can very rarely get at. It is a spiritual state of oneness. | 102 |
| Wolfgang Puck | Italian food is all about ingredients and it's not fussy and it's not fancy. | 102 |
| Yash Chopra | The secret of being a great actor is a love of food. | 102 |
| Yolanda Adams | Good food is healthy food. Food is supposed to sustain you so you can live better, not so you can eat more. Some people eat to live, and some people live to eat. | 102 |
| Yves Chauvin | I am still not a fussy eater, although I do enjoy good food. | 102 |
| Zac Goldsmith | The food system is not a free market. In this country, we impose reasonably high standards of animal welfare - but we haven't applied the same standards to food we import, so all we're really doing is exporting cruelty from Britain elsewhere, and at the same time undermining our farmers. | 102 |
| A. J. Liebling | An Englishman teaching an American about food is like the blind leading the one-eyed. | 102 |
| Carmen Electra | No matter where I've been overseas, the food stinks, except in Italy. | 102 |
| Charlie Trotter | In a time when it is common for chefs to simply reproduce the innovations of others, the few who speak for themselves through their food become the skilled artists of their time. | 102 |
| Curtis Stone | There are probably close to a million people in the hospitality industry here in the United States, and there are probably only a few hundred opportunities in the food media industry. | 102 |
| Deborah Moggach | I did have a go with Botox, but I couldn't move my eyebrows. I also, at one point, had that filler stuff injected, but I looked like a hamster with wodges of food in its cheeks, so I stopped that. | 102 |
| Denise Mina | We don't really go in for big family dinners, but Scottish people are famously confrontational. It's a cultural thing, so maybe we don't need to have them to clear the air. Also, traditional family food isn't as nice here so there's no payoff for traveling hundreds of miles. | 102 |
| Eric Stoltz | My perfect day is constantly changing. Right now, it would be to lie around in a hammock reading with a portable phone and a table of food next to it. I would spend all day there. And that's all that I can possibly come up with on the spur of the moment. | 102 |
| Karrie Webb | I think Australian food is probably some of the best in the world. | 102 |
| Katarina Witt | Sometimes I even now feel like a stranger in my country. But I knew there would be problems because I had seen the world as a skater. And now? A lot of people in eastern Germany have lost jobs, rents went up, food costs went up, unemployment went to 20 percent. Freedom is good, but it is not easy. | 102 |
| Keshia Knight Pulliam | Honestly, I just try to live right, get enough sleep, and drink a lot of water. I do drink a lot of water; I do live by that. And just eating good clean food... I do love all of it. But I do definitely try to eat better organic food. | 102 |
| Lewis Hamilton | I love it in the States. The roads are big, the food is big. If it was possible to be in L.A. and still live my racing life, I would move now. | 102 |
| Lucy Powell | Some argue that now isn't the time to push the green agenda - that all efforts should be on preventing a serious recession. That is a false choice. It fails to recognise that climate change and our carbon reliance is part of problem - high fuel prices and food shortages due to poor crop yields compound today's financial difficulties. | 102 |
| Martin Parr | Fashion pictures show people looking glamorous. Travel pictures show a place looking at its best, nothing to do with the reality. In the cookery pages, the food always looks amazing, right? Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda. | 102 |
| Nicholas Stern | I think it's important that people think about what they are doing and that includes what they are eating. I am 61 now and attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed radically since I was a student. People change their notion of what is responsible. They will increasingly ask about the carbon content of their food. | 102 |
| Pat Buchanan | The food that enters the mind must be watched as closely as the food that enters the body. | 102 |
| Robert Atkins | Everyone would be healthier if they didn't eat junk food. | 102 |
| Sandra Lee | Baking cookies is comforting, and cookies are the sweetest little bit of comfort food. They are very bite-sized and personal. | 102 |
| Amy Bloom | My ideal meal varies, depending on the time of year. Lobster on a deck overlooking a beach at sunset is one - but all my kids have to be there, because they are all lobster-lovers. Making a bolognese sauce over pappardelle for my husband on a winter evening, because he loves my bolognese sauce and it's his comfort food. | 102 |
| Dana Goodyear | The food being presented at the most expensive restaurants, by the most sophisticated chefs, was not always recognizable as food to the diner - it required a leap of faith, and I felt curious about that phenomenon. | 102 |
| Deborra-Lee Furness | My secret indulgent food is dessert. I have an incredible sweet tooth - chocolate pudding with vanilla ice-cream or trifle and pavlova. I do love dessert. | 102 |
| Dorothy Allison | I think it's wonderful that people in pickup trucks are buying two flats of dog food and a copy of 'Bastard.' I want my view of the world to be right up there next to gallon boxes of Tide. | 102 |
| Dreama Walker | I love food. I'm a big food person. I'm really passionate about eating good food all the time. | 102 |
| John Harvey Kellogg | A dead cow or sheep lying in a pasture is recognized as carrion. The same sort of a carcass dressed and hung up in a butcher's stall passes as food. | 102 |
| Meghan Markle | Food makes travel so exceptional, because you get to taste what it's actually supposed to taste like. To eat the real Pad Thai or finally have a proper curry is something pretty amazing. | 102 |
| Michael Moss | That is the one single word that the food industry hates: 'addiction.' They much prefer words like 'crave-ability' and 'allure.' | 102 |
| Naomi Klein | The truly powerful feed ideology to the masses like fast food while they dine on the most rarified delicacy of all: impunity. | 102 |
| Robin Quivers | I'm nutty for nutrition. I've become one of those people who can't stop talking about the connection between food and health. Now that I know how much changing what you eat can transform your life, I can't stop proselytizing. | 102 |
| Sarah Michelle Gellar | I like food. I like eating. And I don't want to deprive myself of good food. | 102 |
| Shahid Kapoor | Indian cinema gives you everything that western cinema doesn't. It's maseladar and spicy. If you like Indian food, I think you'll love Indian movies. | 102 |
| Shane Filan | I worry about putting food on the table, paying for my kids needs, their college fees in years to come. It's about earning enough to have a living to be able to look after your children. | 102 |
| Suresh Raina | I am doing everything to be fit - like not eating oily food, doing yoga, gymming and consulting my doc. | 102 |
| Alice Hamilton | From the first I became convinced that what I must look for was lead dust and lead fumes, that men were poisoned by breathing poisoned air, not by handling their food with unwashed hands. | 102 |
| Colin Hay | People say history is boring, and that is true because people are boring. We haven't changed since time began. We're still the same. We've obviously made some changes. When we started, it was all about food, clothing and shelter. Now we watch 'Top Chef', 'Project Runway', and 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.' | 102 |
| David Green | If I die without food or without eternal salvation, I want to die without food. | 102 |
| Ellen Gustafson | As an anti-hunger advocate, I found the perplexity of the obesity problem and the hunger problem existing side-by-side in our increasingly global food system begged further investigation. | 102 |
| Emilie de Ravin | I'm kind of a homebody. I like to sit at home and watch movies and eat good food. | 102 |
| Erin Andrews | Obviously as I'm getting older, I'm seeing changes in my body that I may not like... but I do love food, and I'm from the South. I'm not gonna lie, I eat fried chicken, I love macaroni and cheese, and I love grits. | 102 |
| Jeremy Rifkin | The American public is not aware that there might be potential allergenic and toxic reactions. With regular food, at least people know which foods they have an allergy to. | 102 |
| Lisa Snowdon | On long haul flights I always drink loads and loads of water and eat light and healthy food. | 102 |
| Robert Irvine | Every meal should end with something sweet. Maybe it's jelly on toast at breakfast, or a small piece of chocolate at dinner - but it always helps my brain bring a close to the meal. | 102 |
| Robin Leach | In Italy, they add work and life on to food and wine. | 102 |
| Rocco DiSpirito | Be curious, learn and read as much as you can about food. Don't worry about making money. Focus on learning at various venues before you settle down for a steady position. | 102 |
| Sigmar Gabriel | Without sound conservation and management measures, fisheries will quickly become depleted and a basic component of global food security will be lost. | 102 |
| Takeru Kobayashi | People think that if you have a huge appetite, then you'll be better at it. But actually, it's how you confront the food that is brought to you. You have to be mentally and psychologically prepared. | 102 |
| Tyler Posey | You know I don't care about what I eat. I love food so much, I can't affect the way I eat. | 102 |
| Brad Renfro | I would say, stay the hell away from the party scene. Anything you put in front of your goal, and especially something like that, whether it's too much gambling, too much food, too much cold beers on the weekend - anything that you put in front of the prize is going to end up getting in the way and hurting you in the end. | 102 |
| Brett Hoebel | Food is a lot of people's therapy - when we say comfort food, we really mean that. It's releasing dopamine and serotonin in your brain that makes you feel good. | 102 |
| Cara Castronuova | I know that when I get stressed, I want to eat junk food. So now I just know - 'I'm stressed, I want to eat junk food, so I'm going to go work out instead, or eat something healthy.' It really works. | 102 |
| Cary Fowler | Whether we consciously realize it or not, the biodiversity with which we are most familiar, and the biodiversity with which we have most intimate historical, cultural and biological connections, is that associated with food plants. | 102 |
| James P. Hoffa | Improving the outlook for U.S workers isn't about creating millions of minimum-wage jobs. It is about creating sustainable, skilled employment that allows Americans to earn a fair wage with benefits that allows them to pay for housing and food on the table and sustain a middle-class lifestyle. | 102 |
| M. F. K. Fisher | Wine and cheese are ageless companions, like aspirin and aches, or June and moon, or good people and noble ventures. | 102 |
| Matteo Renzi | There is in the DNA of the Italians a bit of madness, which in the overwhelming majority of cases is positive. It is genius. It is talent. It's the masterpieces of art. It's the food, fashion, everything that makes Italy great in the world. | 102 |
| Stefon Harris | Italy has great food and Barcelona has great energy. | 102 |
| Amy Childs | I need to tone up, as I eat a lot of fast food. I love Maccy D's, Subway and Domino's. | 102 |
| Ben McLemore | You get those hunger pains. 'I am so hungry. We don't have any food. What are we going to eat?' Your stomach hurts. Then you get so upset and mad, like, no food. You start having tantrums and don't want to do anything. You get mad at everybody because you don't have any food. That's what happens when you don't eat. You are so sluggish. | 102 |
| Bryan Q. Miller | The disparity between a restaurant's price and food quality rises in direct proportion to the size of the pepper mill. | 102 |
| James Garner | I think my attitude has always been to put food on the table. | 102 |
| Louise Fresco | Our food is safer and our diets are more diverse than ever before; production methods are becoming increasingly sustainable, clean and efficient; and we are constantly becoming better at protecting biodiversity. | 102 |
| Stephanie Klein | The way I see it, love is an amusement park, and food its souvenir. | 102 |
| A. Whitney Brown | I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants. | 102 |
| Anna Eshoo | I like a quiet evening with family or friends over, great food and great discussion and a lot of laughter. That's really what I think fills my tank. | 102 |
| David Lean | Don't make jokes about food. | 102 |
| Dorothy Gilman | People need dreams, there's as much nourishment in 'em as food. | 102 |
| Mian Muhammad Mansha | The future of the world will belong to whoever can harness energy and food. | 102 |
| John Shelton Reed | Maybe we've been brainwashed by 130 years of Yankee history, but Southern identity now has more to do with food, accents, manners, music than the Confederate past. It's something that's open to both races, a variety of ethnic groups and people who move here. | 102 |
| Joseph Epstein | Not to like ice cream is to show oneself uninterested in food. | 102 |
| Marion Nestle | Healthy, sustainable food production methods give us food that is nutritionally better and with fewer pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones. | 102 |
| Matt Barr | Food is a huge passion of mine, and because I want to eat whatever I want, I run every morning, and then I do weights a few times a week. It's just how I can balance eating pancakes in the morning, a big burger for lunch, and then a fat steak and cheesecake at night. | 102 |
| Jerry Brown | When the farmer can sell directly to the consumer, it is a more active process. There's more contact. The consumer can know, who am I buying this from? What's their name? Do they have a face? Is the food they are selling coming out of Mexico with pesticides? | 102 |
| Jessica Lowndes | I live a healthy lifestyle and I crave healthy food. I love porridge - I have bizarre cravings for it. I love it with brown sugar and bananas, and I'm a huge fan of cinnamon - I put cinnamon on everything. I also have a sweet tooth and I don't like to deprive myself. I think everything in moderation is the key. | 102 |
| John Salley | I was a vegetarian first. I had high blood pressure at 27, everybody in my family died of cancer, and I knew it was in the food, so I changed my diet. | 102 |
| Julia Barr | I know my husband really loves me because he takes me to have ribs. He says I'm the only girl he ever took out who actually ate anything on her plate, as opposed to pushing it around. | 102 |
| Joey Fatone | If you combine good flavors, food turns into an orchestra. | 102 |
| Joko Beck | My dog doesn't worry about the meaning of life. She may worry if she doesn't get her breakfast, but she doesn't sit around worrying about whether she will get fulfilled or liberated or enlightened. As long as she gets some food and a little affection, her life is fine. | 102 |
| Jamie Chung | I love photography, I love food, and I love traveling, and to put those three things together would just be the ultimate dream. | 102 |
| JWoww | I eat junk food, cheesecake, cheese, pizza - but just lower amounts of it. | 102 |
| John Bachman | I never found either this or the Northern Shrike return to such prey for food. I have seen them alight on the same thorn bush afterwards, but never made any use of this kind of food. | 102 |
| Ice Cube | I'm trying to cut down a little on eating, on sodium, keep my blood pressure down, which is tough. Because I love food! I do, but it's unfair how everything that's bad for you tastes so good, and all the good stuff, veggies and green things, doesn't match up. | 103 |
| Ivan Pavlov | Appetite, craving for food, is a constant and powerful stimulator of the gastric glands. | 103 |
| Alton Brown | The kitchen's a laboratory, and everything that happens there has to do with science. It's biology, chemistry, physics. Yes, there's history. Yes, there's artistry. Yes, to all of that. But what happened there, what actually happens to the food is all science. | 103 |
| Anthony Bourdain | Bad food is made without pride, by cooks who have no pride, and no love. Bad food is made by chefs who are indifferent, or who are trying to be everything to everybody, who are trying to please everyone... Bad food is fake food... food that shows fear and lack of confidence in people's ability to discern or to make decisions about their lives. | 103 |
| Charles Baudelaire | Any healthy man can go without food for two days - but not without poetry. | 103 |
| Eric Schlosser | As a matter of fact, most cases of food poisoning are never linked back to their source. | 103 |
| Ernest Holmes | We can no more do without spirituality than we can do without food, shelter, or clothing. | 103 |
| Hans Selye | Man should not try to avoid stress any more than he would shun food, love or exercise. | 103 |
| Ian Dunbar | You don't train a dog in a training hall, jerking his neck or even giving him food treats. You train him using life rewards. | 103 |
| Imelda Staunton | Looking back, there is nothing wrong with that peace, love and equality that the hippies espoused. In many ways, we have regressed because they were into organic food, back to nature, make love not war, be good to all men, share and share alike - which is what many are talking about now. | 103 |
| Jamie Oliver | What I've enjoyed most, though, is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn - I love it! | 103 |
| John Kenneth Galbraith | More die in the United States of too much food than of too little. | 103 |
| Kate Christensen | There's a certain time of day after sunset when people naturally seem to feel the urge to gather by a fire or a stove or a hibachi or another common source of heat and food, and hunker down together to eat and drink. Call it the blue hour. | 103 |
| Kathy Freston | I think that food ties us to our community and our traditions, and it's the thing that makes us feel good and connected. | 103 |
| Kevin James | There's no better feeling in the world than a warm pizza box on your lap. | 103 |
| Lucretius | What is food to one man is bitter poison to others. | 103 |
| Lupe Fiasco | I don't mind payin' for the police and for streets and sanitation, or road work, bridges, trains, food subsidies and welfare. But I don't wanna pay for bombs to fight proxy wars in the middle of nowhere against enemies in the night. | 103 |
| Monica Bellucci | Wherever I go, I am Italian. The way I talk, the way I eat, the way femininity is important to me. The way I love Italian food. | 103 |
| Nobu Matsuhisa | I eat soup noodles for comfort. In fact, noodles of any kind. It's a food that is very easy to eat; it's very soothing and comfortable, too. If I could choose any, I'd say buckwheat was my favourite: it has a very good flavour and is healthy, too. | 103 |
| Norman Borlaug | Yet food is something that is taken for granted by most world leaders despite the fact that more than half of the population of the world is hungry. | 103 |
| Phil Robertson | We were so poor as kids. I didn't even see a bathtub, running water, hot water, commode - we didn't have any of that. We started with a humble log house, milk cow, garden-raised our own food, killed a hog every year in the fall, and had the meat hanging up in the smokehouse - that was our childhood, me and ol' Si. | 103 |
| Ryan Lochte | I started eating healthier. I actually gave up fast food. I gave up candy and potato chips and everything else. I started watching what I ate. | 103 |
| Tom Colicchio | I think steak is the ultimate comfort food, and if you're going out for one, that isn't the time to scrimp on calories or quality. | 103 |
| Ayelet Waldman | I feed my kids organic food and milk, but I've also been known to buy the odd Lunchable. My kids are not allowed to watch TV during the week, but on weekends even the 2-year-old veges out to 'The Simpsons.' | 103 |
| Cecily Strong | Food can be mean to me, but I love it anyway. | 103 |
| Christine Pelosi | Mitt Romney has won the 2012 presidential nomination by promising Republicans that he would end a so-called 'culture of dependency' on welfare - welfare defined as 'free stuff' and food stamps for poor folks, not tax breaks for Big Oil or tax shelters for Bain executives. | 103 |
| Elizabeth Berkley | I will never forget experiencing Venice for the first time. It feels like you are transported to another time - the art, music, food and pure romance in the air is like no other place. | 103 |
| Gail Simmons | It's better to get the nutrients for healthy skin from food, not supplements. Salmon, walnuts, blueberries, spinach... lots of my favorite foods happen to be amazing for skin too. | 103 |
| J. Michael Straczynski | In every other science fiction series, humans are at the top of the food chain. In the 'Babylon 5' universe, they're in the bottom third. | 103 |
| Lady Gregory | My husband was in the war of the Crimea. It is terrible the hardships he went through, to be two months without going into a house, under the snow in trenches. And no food to get, maybe a biscuit in the day. And there was enough food there, he said, to feed all Ireland; but bad management, they could not get it. | 103 |
| Laura Esquivel | I watch cooking change the cook, just as it transforms the food. | 103 |
| Lisa Ling | Parents are working more than ever before and unable to monitor what kids are eating at home, and schools are selling astronomical amounts of junk food in order to supplement shrinking budgets. It's a ticking time bomb, and America's children are exploding. | 103 |
| Mark Hyman | I don't need the fillers, additives, excessive amounts of sugars, fats, salts and other measures taken to taint the natural goodness of real food. | 103 |
| Mary Roach | Animals' taste systems are specialized for the niche they occupy in the environment. That includes us. As hunters and foragers of the dry savannah, our earliest forebears evolved a taste for important but scarce nutrients: salt and high-energy fats and sugars. That, in a nutshell, explains the widespread popularity of junk food. | 103 |
| Neal Barnard | If beef is your idea of 'real food for real people', you'd better live real close to a real good hospital. | 103 |
| Trisha Yearwood | I love potatoes - they're my favorite food. | 103 |
| Wen Jiabao | There are two books that I often travel with; one is 'The Theory on Moral Sentiments' by Adam Smith. The other is 'The Meditations.' It's not that I agree with either views expressed in the books, but I believe ideas and thoughts of older generations can offer food for thought for the current generation. | 103 |
| William Irwin Thompson | One way to find food for thought is to use the fork in the road, the bifurcation that marks the place of emergence in which a new line of development begins to branch off. | 103 |
| Alice Dreger | According to my mother, there pretty much wasn't anything I wouldn't eat as a child. Not just try, but eat. I was even inclined to dig into stuff about which she expressed open disgust - lobster and other shellfish, and cheap Chinese food with pepper so hot it made your gums feel like a medieval dentist had been at them. | 103 |
| Bonnie Bassler | Most bacteria aren't bad. We breathe and eat and ingest gobs of bacteria every single moment of our lives. Our food is covered in bacteria. And you're breathing in bacteria all the time, and you mostly don't get sick. | 103 |
| Carol Alt | If I'm making a movie and get hungry, I call time-out and eat some crackers. | 103 |
| Clement Attlee | I just love Chinese food. My favourite dish is number 27. | 103 |
| Joel Fuhrman | We have these weapons of mass destruction on every street corner, and they're called donuts, cheeseburgers, French fries, potato chips, junk food. Our kids are living on a junk food diet. | 103 |
| Michael Mina | Food feeds both the body and soul - there are clear reasons to eat a balanced diet, but there are also reasons you cling to your mom's secret chicken noodle soup recipe when you're sick. | 103 |
| Paul Kantner | Then you get to be involved with all the people, meet all the beautiful girls, get all the good food, get ready and locked in before all the crowds hit. | 103 |
| Romain Grosjean | I have a great love for cuisine, so I'm always interested in local food, and there are so many interesting dishes, spices and ingredients in India. | 103 |
| Tom Sizemore | It was dog food. Beef livers with onions in a can. You open it up and it looks like vomit. | 103 |
| Tracey Gold | Anorexia, you starve yourself. Bulimia, you binge and purge. You eat huge amounts of food until you're sick and then you throw up. And anorexia, you just deny yourself. It's about control. | 103 |
| Trish Stratus | As far as luxury goes, about the only thing I do is... I go first class all the way. I live on the road, so when I'm out there, I'm getting the nice hotel suite, I'm getting the luxury car, I'm eating the good food, and I make sure I take care of myself on the road. | 103 |
| Adam Gopnik | You can't have a decent food culture without a decent coffee culture: the two things grow up together. | 103 |
| Allan Savory | Agriculture is not crop production as popular belief holds - it's the production of food and fiber from the world's land and waters. Without agriculture it is not possible to have a city, stock market, banks, university, church or army. Agriculture is the foundation of civilization and any stable economy. | 103 |
| Anita Baker | If I could be doing anything, I'd be laying on the floor in my birthday suit eating junk food and watching something dumb on TV. | 103 |
| Daniel Gillies | I will say that the food in both Japan and Italy was immaculate. I don't remember having bad food in either country. | 103 |
| Jared Padalecki | I'm a little self-conscious about my body. I love to wear hoodies because you can get cozy and eat some food and your belly doesn't show! | 103 |
| Joe Bastianich | The menu should be part of the entertainment, part of the dining experience. It's kind of like reading the 'Playbill' when you go to the theater. It should be an alluring and interactive document. Does it have burn marks on it from the candle? If you ever get a greasy menu with food stains on it, it's time to run like hell. | 103 |
| Leroy Chiao | There were different challenges along the way. Certainly the food shortage was unpleasant. | 103 |
| Pat Roberts | Security for agriculture merits serious concern by not only the agricultural community but our nation as a whole. The risk to the U.S. food supply and overall economy is real. | 103 |
| Richard J. Codey | School is where children spend most of their time, and it is where we lay the foundation for healthy habits. That's why New Jersey is the first state to adopt a comprehensive school nutrition policy that bans candy, soda, and other junk food. | 103 |
| Sasha Cohen | I really liked the food in Japan. There is something so organized, neat, and methodical about it. They put a lot of care and quality into their cooking. I also love Mediterranean, New American, and Italian food, because the cuisines borrow influences from all over the world. | 103 |
| Andrew Eldritch | I still like being in North of England and I keep a place there. But there are a lot of things about the Continent that are to be preferred. The social institutions work better, women have a better position in society and the food is another thing. | 103 |
| Marc Forgione | The kitchen is a sacred space. | 103 |
| Misty May-Treanor | The more colorful the food, the better. I try to add color to my diet, which means vegetables and fruits. | 103 |
| Art Donovan | I don't eat vegetables. I only eat food like cheeseburgers, Spam, hot dogs and pizza. | 103 |
| Becca Fitzpatrick | I should probably confess that ice cream is my favorite food, and I eat it every night. When I go grocery shopping, I try to buy a new flavor, rather than reverting back to a favorite flavor. I'm on a mission to taste every flavor of ice cream out there! | 103 |
| Dave Thomas | It all comes back to the basics. Serve customers the best-tasting food at a good value in a clean, comfortable restaurant, and they'll keep coming back. | 103 |
| Jeremy Grantham | Low-cost, high-grade coal, oil and natural gas - the backbone of the Industrial Revolution - will be a distant memory by 2050. Much higher-cost remnants will still be available, but they will not be able to drive our growth, our population and, most critically, our food supply as before. | 103 |
| Joseph Wood Krutch | If we do not permit the earth to produce beauty and joy, it will in the end not produce food, either. | 103 |
| Manish Dayal | My aunt and uncle would come over when my mom was making this, or we would go over there when they were making that. That's what food is. | 103 |
| Rebecca Loos | I'm a new mum who spends her days making baby food and cooking for her man. And I couldn't be happier. | 103 |
| Matt Ridley | I'm perfectly happy to eat organic food, but if I choose to pay more for it, I don't pat myself on the back ethically. Quite the reverse. I think I'm actually being quite greedy, because what I'm doing is essentially saying, 'I want more land to be devoted to growing my food.' | 103 |
| Robert Higgs | Some doomsayers think the collapse will be triggered by runaway government spending, excessive taxation, oppressive regulation, food shortages, fuel shortages or natural disasters such as deadly pandemics or lethal changes in the world's climate. | 103 |
| Marion Nestle | I am not a vegetarian. I subscribe to my own mantra: eat less, move more, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, don't eat too much junk food, and enjoy what you eat. Or, to summarise: eat less, eat better, move more, and get political. | 103 |
| Joseph Jackson | I fed them every day. So it was a papa that kept food on the table for them. I did that. I did my part. | 103 |
| Jorge Cruise | The only secret to food combination is a balance of protein, carbs and fat - they all play a key role in our health. | 103 |
| Cesar Chavez | If you really want to make a friend, go to someone's house and eat with him... the people who give you their food give you their heart. | 104 |
| George Bernard Shaw | There is no sincerer love than the love of food. | 104 |
| J. R. R. Tolkien | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. | 104 |
| Julia Child | In France, cooking is a serious art form and a national sport. | 104 |
| Alfred Russel Wallace | In all works on Natural History, we constantly find details of the marvellous adaptation of animals to their food, their habits, and the localities in which they are found. | 104 |
| Anthony Bourdain | I would like to see people more aware of where their food comes from. I would like to see small farmers empowered. I feed my daughter almost exclusively organic food. | 104 |
| Behati Prinsloo | I'll paddle board, swim in the ocean, roll in the sand, soak up the sun, eat good food, be with friends and family and go fishing with my dad. | 104 |
| Caroline Knapp | What is this drive to be thinner, prettier, better dressed, other? Who exactly is this other and what does she look like beyond the jacket she's wearing or the food she's not eating? What might we be doing, thinking, feeling about if we didn't think about body image, ever? | 104 |
| Clare Balding | I really love good food occasionally, but I need time to enjoy it, and I need to be hungry. | 104 |
| David Byrne | My favorite time of day is to get up and eat leftovers from dinner, especially spicy food. | 104 |
| David Perlmutter | The food we eat goes beyond its macronutrients of carbohydrates, fat and protein. It's information. It interacts with and instructs our genome with every mouthful, changing genetic expression. | 104 |
| Dorothy Day | Food for the body is not enough. There must be food for the soul. | 104 |
| Frans de Waal | Octopuses have hundreds of suckers, each one equipped with its own ganglion with thousands of neurons. These 'mini-brains' are interconnected, making for a widely distributed nervous system. That is why a severed octopus arm may crawl on its own and even pick up food. | 104 |
| Gustav Klimt | Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art. | 104 |
| Heston Blumenthal | You think about some of the most memorable meals you've ever had; the food will be good but it will often be about locating a mental memory and taste is inexorably linked to all the other senses and memory, so ultimately it is all about taste. | 104 |
| Holly Madison | I like food too much to go on some crazy diet. French fries are my favorite downfall. | 104 |
| Jamie Oliver | Stop being a vegan and start enjoying what you eat. | 104 |
| Joel Salatin | Know you food, know your farmers, and know your kitchen. | 104 |
| Ludwig van Beethoven | Only the pure in heart can make a good soup. | 104 |
| Marcus Samuelsson | Clean water and access to food are some of the simplest things that we can take for granted each and every day. In places like Africa, these can be some of the hardest resources to attain if you live in a rural area. | 104 |
| Mario Batali | We would load up the yellow Cutlass Supreme station wagon and pick blackberries during blackberry season or spring onions during spring onion season. For us, food was part of the fabric of our day. | 104 |
| N. R. Narayana Murthy | All developmental activities for the common man such as education, healthcare, shelter and food distribution should be handled by reputed private sector institutions. It should be a competitive market in order to prevent the formation of monopolies. | 104 |
| Nathan Myhrvold | I've been on a team that won the world championship of barbecue. But barbecue's interesting, because it's one of these cult foods like chili, or bouillabaisse. Various parts of the world will have a cult food that people get enormously attached to - there's tremendous traditions; there's secrecy. | 104 |
| Norman Borlaug | Without food, man can live at most but a few weeks; without it, all other components of social justice are meaningless. | 104 |
| Ornette Coleman | I remember once I read a book on mental illness and there was a nurse that had gotten sick. Do you know what she died from? From worrying about the mental patients not being able to get their food. She became a mental patient. | 104 |
| Padma Lakshmi | Wine, like food, is so emotional. If you think about it, so much of the courting ritual is surrounded by wine and food. There's a built-in romance to wine. | 104 |
| Paul Prudhomme | I wait for the next opportunity to have something to do with food. If I get rested, my mind just starts creating new dishes - click, click, click. | 104 |
| Rene Redzepi | People will travel anywhere for good food - it's crazy. | 104 |
| Simon Hoggart | I cannot be alone in being pretty nauseated by Red Nose Day, or at least its television manifestation. Do I think that wretchedly poor children in Africa should get food and life-saving drugs? Of course. Do I want to be hectored into contributing by celebrities who earn more in a 10-minute slot than many of these families get in a year? Nope. | 104 |
| Sylvester Stallone | When I was a kid, my mother used to feed me mashed-potato sandwiches, brussel sprout sandwiches; my brain cells were starving from lack of food. I'll eat anything. I'll eat dirt. | 104 |
| Timothy Noah | The intriguing aspect of food charges on airlines is that they create the perfect laboratory for any economist who wishes to study the question of how to price a good that possesses, by universal consensus, absolutely no objective value. | 104 |
| Tyra Banks | I love all kinds of bread. Whenever I crave junk food, I want salty things like peanuts or potato chips. | 104 |
| Alison Gopnik | Asking questions is what brains were born to do, at least when we were young children. For young children, quite literally, seeking explanations is as deeply rooted a drive as seeking food or water. | 104 |
| Antonio Banderas | Cats are very independent animals. They're very sexy, if you want. Dogs are different. They're familiar. They're obedient. You call a cat, you go, 'Cat, come here.' He doesn't come to you unless you have something in your hand that he thinks might be food. They're very free animals, and I like that. | 104 |
| Arlie Russell Hochschild | In response to our fast-food culture, a 'slow food' movement appeared. Out of hurried parenthood, a move toward slow parenting could be growing. With vital government supports for state-of-the-art public child care and paid parental leave, maybe we would be ready to try slow love and marriage. | 104 |
| Avril Lavigne | I was eating bad stuff. Lots of sugar and carbs, junk food all the time. It makes you very irritated. | 104 |
| Bela Lugosi | I don't have a dime left. I am dependent on my friends for food and a small old-age pension. | 104 |
| Carl Honore | Out of the Slow Food movement has grown something called the Slow Cities movement, which has started in Italy but has spread right across Europe and beyond. And in this, towns begin to rethink how they organize the urban landscape so that people are encouraged to slow down and smell the roses and connect with one another. | 104 |
| Curtis Stone | I always think if you have to cook once, it should feed you twice. If you're going to make a big chicken and vegetable soup for lunch on Monday, you stick it in the refrigerator and it's also for Wednesday's dinner. | 104 |
| Cynthia Nixon | I love spicy food. | 104 |
| Elle Fanning | I'm a big fish eater. Salmon - I love salmon. My sister loves Chinese food and sushi and all that. I'm not as big of a fan, but she likes it so we eat it a lot. So I'm beginning to like it more. I don't like the raw sushi. I liked the cooked crab and lobster and everything. | 104 |
| Gail Simmons | Patience is the secret to good food. | 104 |
| Josie Loren | If I eat junk food and have a workout the next day, I feel a significant difference in the way my body responds to exercise. I'm sluggish, tired and run out of energy very quickly. | 104 |
| Kabir Bedi | I turned into a monk when my mother went to learn Buddhism in Burma. While she learnt at the monastery, I used to roam around with a begging bowl and ask for food. | 104 |
| Kate Walsh | My very first job was a cashier at Burger King in Tucson, Arizona. And I occasionally worked the drive-thru. I'd go wherever I was needed! My second job was at Dairy Queen. I stayed in the fast food royalty. | 104 |
| Kim Alexis | I feel an important part of beauty is not only what you do on the outside but also what you put into the inside. Good fresh food with many vegetables along with love and caring for others. I spend way more time serving others than I do on my beauty routine daily. | 104 |
| Mark Hyman | In the 21st century our tastes buds, our brain chemistry, our biochemistry, our hormones and our kitchens have been hijacked by the food industry. | 104 |
| Suzanne Somers | I stopped dieting on plain, boring, unsatisfying food and started eating rich, delicious meals full of flavor and, yes... fat. I got skinny on fat and realized I would never have to diet again. | 104 |
| Tristram Stuart | In Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, the government in a matter of years has put a lot of energy behind recycling food waste as livestock feed. It's environmentally friendly, it provides cheap livestock feed for the farmers in those parts of the world, and it avoids sending the food waste to landfill. | 104 |
| Adrian Peterson | Seafood was always my favorite food. I mean, fried lobster? Come on. Once I found out shrimp, scallops and lobster were my allergic triggers, I had to change my diet. | 104 |
| Andrew Mason | Most small business owners are not particularly sophisticated business people. That's not a criticism; they're passionate about cutting hair or cooking food, and that's why they got in the business, not because they have an MBA. | 104 |
| Cat Cora | We incorporated new tastes and flavors into our kids' diets from a very early age, which helped to develop their palates and prevented them from becoming picky eaters. We don't buy junk food and give them options of fresh fruit, yogurt, raw almonds, or dried whole grain cereals for snack time. | 104 |
| Jane Siberry | Acceptable food rots while we are chased from bins behind restaurants, chased from sleeping on the street, chased from relieving ourselves unless we pay for food or gas, until finally we are so hungry, sleepless, smelly, constipated and beaten-down that we simply die of lack of will to live. | 104 |
| Michael Mina | I don't know if you call a burger 'recession food.' It's comfort food. | 104 |
| Molly Ringwald | I like to say, jazz music is kind of like my musical equivalent of comfort food. You know, it's always where I go back to when I just want to feel sort of grounded. | 104 |
| Samantha Morton | It's fantastic to strive towards a nice life where you eat nice organic food and your children go to a nice school and you can afford nice clothes and nice perfume and the hypoallergenic make-up. But there's never a day goes by, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, that I don't think about where I'm from. | 104 |
| Tyson Chandler | I thought it was normal to recycle pants and shoes from your older cousins. That was just my way of life. At the end of the month, there was not much food in the refrigerator and you're hoping the first comes so food can come again. You never forget those things. | 104 |
| Andre Balazs | I don't think it ever does any harm in any business to feel that there is someone there who cares about it. If you look at any business, fashion being the most obvious, the aura, or the reality of the designer, is part of what creates it. It's true in luxury goods stores and in good food stores. It leaves a palpable sense that someone cares. | 104 |
| Jim Ryun | Our budget works to reduce and eliminate the risk of attacks at our ports, rails, in the skies, our food supply and roads by allowing for increases in many of the programs and agencies to help protect these important areas of commerce and travel. | 104 |
| Marcus Brigstocke | I think Ross Noble is the only person that I've seen really storm a stand-up slot at a festival, and that was when he led 3,000 people on a conga out of the tent and across the entire site to a vegetarian food truck. | 104 |
| Randa Abdel-Fattah | For me, religious festivals and celebrations have become an important way to teach my children about how we can transform living with diversity from the superficial 'I eat ethnic food', to something dignified, mutually respectful and worthwhile. | 104 |
| Tig Notaro | Basically I'm a female human being with brown hair, enjoy precision, reading the news, eating delicious food with my delicious friends and laughing at ridiculous things that don't translate while you are desperately trying to make them. | 104 |
| Triple H | Being on the road is no excuse for having a poor diet. I don't like fast food, but if I have to, I'll order three plain grilled chicken sandwiches and throw out the buns. | 104 |
| Damon Wayans | The less food, the more time to talk, the more to talk about. | 104 |
| Jamie Cullum | My mother was born in Burma, but my grandfather on her side was Indian-Spanish. So I have this quite exotic mix, which is reflected in my earliest memories, in our Wiltshire country kitchen, of gran, and aunts, cooking spicy stewy, casseroley curries, a version of Indian food with a Burmese twist. | 104 |
| John Mulaney | You can do good work simply staying up all night and eating nothing but junk food, but probably not in the long term. | 104 |
| M. F. K. Fisher | Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly. | 104 |
| Misty May-Treanor | If you maintain a healthy diet, or at least are smart about your food choices, you'll still see the pounds come off. | 104 |
| Abdul Qadeer Khan | Well, sometimes if I go out to dinner with my family, people will come up to me and put their hand across my plate for me to shake, sometimes when I have a bite of food in my mouth. I find this a bit disturbing. | 104 |
| Anne Burrell | Taste as you go. When you taste the food throughout the cooking process you can make adjustments as you go. | 104 |
| John Walters | Too many people just eat to consume calories. Try dining for a change. | 104 |
| Marion Nestle | How we grow food has enormous effects on the environment - climate change as well as pollution of air, water, and soil. | 104 |
| Jerry Brown | Jobs for every American is doomed to failure because of modern automation and production. We ought to recognize it and create an income-maintenance system so every single American has the dignity and the wherewithal for shelter, basic food, and medical care. I'm talking about welfare for all. Without it, you're going to have warfare for all. | 104 |
| David Attenborough | It's coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It's not just climate change; it's sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now. | 105 |
| Percy Bysshe Shelley | In a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred; it teaches rather self-knowledge and self-respect. | 105 |
| Euripides | When a man's stomach is full it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor. | 105 |
| Anthony Bourdain | Food is everything we are. It's an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It's inseparable from those from the get-go. | 105 |
| Aziz Ansari | When I tour, it's like, well, like a food tour as much as a comedy tour. I try to eat at all the weird places, the obscure barbecue joints, burger places. There are a few spots in L.A. that I'm obsessed with - one of them is the Taco Zone taco truck on Alvarado. There are secret off-menu items that are amazing. | 105 |
| Colonel Sanders | A lot of learned men think people really are the food they've eaten. | 105 |
| Eric Schlosser | Fast food is popular because it's convenient, it's cheap, and it tastes good. But the real cost of eating fast food never appears on the menu. | 105 |
| Etta James | Long as I was riding in a big Cadillac and dressed nice and had plenty of food, that's all I cared about. | 105 |
| Eva Green | I was born in Paris, and it's a beautiful place, but London feels like home. I like the village feeling, I like running in the parks - even the food isn't as bad as it used to be. | 105 |
| Faith Hill | I don't want to sound like a Hallmark card, but to be able to wake up each day with food and shelter, that alone is good. Forget aging and the fact that my butt is becoming a little more familiar with my knees than my tailbone. If you are six feet above ground it's a good day. So, give me more! | 105 |
| Giacomo Casanova | I always made my food congenial to my constitution, and my health was always excellent. | 105 |
| Gro Harlem Brundtland | The development of the food industry for both domestic and export markets relies on a regulatory framework that both protects the consumer and assures fair trading practices in food. | 105 |
| Ina Garten | Instead of going out to dinner, buy good food. Cooking at home shows such affection. In a bad economy, it's more important to make yourself feel good. | 105 |
| Joel Salatin | The shorter the chain between raw food and fork, the fresher it is and the more transparent the system is. | 105 |
| Kathy Griffin | No, I love Montreal... I think I love Montreal more than Montreal loves me... I love the food there. | 105 |
| Mario Batali | In America, I would say New York and New Orleans are the two most interesting food towns. In New Orleans, they don't have a bad deli. There's no mediocrity accepted. | 105 |
| Martin Heidegger | Agriculture is now a motorized food industry, the same thing in its essence as the production of corpses in the gas chambers and the extermination camps, the same thing as blockades and the reduction of countries to famine, the same thing as the manufacture of hydrogen bombs. | 105 |
| Michael Pollan | High-quality food is better for your health. | 105 |
| Paul O'Grady | I was a really picky eater as a child. Because I was obsessed by Popeye, my mum and aunts would put my food in a can to represent spinach and we'd hum the Popeye tune and then I'd happily eat it. | 105 |
| Paul Prudhomme | Cajun is country food by farmers and fisherman that arrived in Louisiana from Acadiana, Canada. | 105 |
| Phil Robertson | Two of the central ingredients to our family are food and faith, so sitting down together and thanking God for the food He's provided means everything to us. Prayer is a natural part of our lives - not only around the dinner table, but all day long. | 105 |
| Quintilian | Our minds are like our stomaches; they are whetted by the change of their food, and variety supplies both with fresh appetite. | 105 |
| Rain | I like junk food, French fries, hamburgers - I love it. | 105 |
| Rene Redzepi | Take a trip to the forest and experience the greatness of getting on your knees and picking your own food and going home... and eating it. | 105 |
| Sholom Aleichem | It is an old custom amongst Jewish children, to become war-like on the 'L'ag Beomer.' They arm themselves from head to foot with wooden swords, pop-guns and bows and arrows. They take food with them, and go off to wage war. | 105 |
| Valerie Bertinelli | Once a food becomes off-limits, then it takes on this whole other personality. 'Forbidden' is more tempting. And it becomes something evil, but food is food. It's there to nourish your body. | 105 |
| A. J. Liebling | If the first requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite, the second is to put in your apprenticeship as a feeder when you have enough money to pay the check but not enough to produce indifference of the total. | 105 |
| Alice Waters | I think America's food culture is embedded in fast-food culture. And the real question that we have is: How are we going to teach slow-food values in a fast-food world? Of course, it's very, very difficult to do, especially when children have grown up eating fast food and the values that go with that. | 105 |
| Andrew Weil | Get people back into the kitchen and combat the trend toward processed food and fast food. | 105 |
| Barbara Tuchman | To a historian libraries are food, shelter, and even muse. | 105 |
| Curtis Stone | Keep it simple in the kitchen. If you use quality ingredients, you don't need anything fancy to make food delicious: just a knife, a cutting board, and some good nonstick cookware, and you're set. | 105 |
| David O. Russell | I did a dance sequence in my second short film, which was my best short film, called 'Hairway to the Stars,' and I think Chris Wink, the founder of Blue Man Group, was in that. It's a black-and-white dance sequence. We were Glorious Food waiters together. | 105 |
| Duane Chapman | We believe that God is big enough to give every nationality their own religion, as he's given them their own taste in food, in plants, in furniture, and housing. I think that each religion has their basic Christ-ish way to get to the Everlasting God. | 105 |
| Dylan Lauren | There's no denying that candy is comfort food and it's affordable. | 105 |
| Jason Mraz | I don't think love is a tricky issue at all. Love is best understood when we share: Share time, energy, food, resources, insights, information, whatever. It's usually thought of as something that exists between two people, but that's just because it's easier to see and feel in the space between them. Each person is sharing a lot with the other. | 105 |
| Jet Li | Jackie Chan is a very good comedy/martial arts star. He does one kind of martial arts that Jet Li doesn't know how to do and Jet Li does a martial art that Jackie Chan doesn't know how to do. You can both go to two Chinese restaurants, but both can have different kinds of food. | 105 |
| Karen Thompson Walker | End-of-the-world stories tend to ring true. I've always been drawn to them, but as I wrote my own, I found surprising pleasure in creating a world that is so radically changed, yet where there's so much meaning and value in every small and ordinary thing we have, and take for granted: hot showers, enough food, friends, routines. | 105 |
| Kate Atkinson | When I'm writing, my neural pathways get blocked. I can't read. I can barely hold a conversation without forgetting words and names. I wish I could wear the same clothes and eat the same food each day. | 105 |
| Klaus Kinski | I am your fairy tale. Your dream. Your wishes and desires, and I am your thirst and your hunger and your food and your drink. | 105 |
| Marilu Henner | Research has shown that even small amounts of processed food alter the chemical balance in our brain and cause negative mood swings along with noticeable dips ill energy. | 105 |
| Mark Hyman | While weight loss is important, what's more important is the quality of food you put in your body - food is information that quickly changes your metabolism and genes. | 105 |
| Michael Symon | Go to the grocery store and buy better things. Buy quality, buy organic, buy natural, go to the farmers market. Immediately that's going to increase the quality of the food you make. | 105 |
| Suzanne Somers | All those spices and herbs in your spice rack can do more than provide calorie-free, natural flavorings to enhance and make food delicious. They're also an incredible source of antioxidants and help rev up your metabolism and improve your health at the same time. | 105 |
| Toby Jones | I heard about the project over a year before we began. My American agent said, 'Oh, you might want to read 'In Cold Blood' because they're talking about you for Capote, but the script's with Johnny Depp and Sean Penn at the moment.' So, these things take their time to dribble down the food chain. | 105 |
| Tristram Stuart | The job of uncovering the global food waste scandal started for me when I was 15 years old. I bought some pigs. I was living in Sussex. And I started to feed them in the most traditional and environmentally friendly way. I went to my school kitchen, and I said, 'Give me the scraps that my school friends have turned their noses up at.' | 105 |
| Alice Dreger | When I ask my medical students to describe their image of a woman who elects to birth with a midwife rather than with an obstetrician, they generally describe a woman who wears long cotton skirts, braids her hair, eats only organic vegan food, does yoga, and maybe drives a VW microbus. | 105 |
| Angie Stone | I was always on the go, and thought I was too busy to develop something like this. I thought at the time that diabetes went along with bad habits, but I was the last one in my family to eat junk food. | 105 |
| Cathy Guisewite | Food, love, career, and mothers, the four major guilt groups. | 105 |
| E. L. James | Once you're in charge of your job, your house, your children, getting the food on the table, doing all of this, all of the time, it'd be nice for someone else to be in charge for a bit maybe. | 105 |
| Edie Brickell | I can make dressing - or stuffing. Y'all call it stuffing up here, we call it dressing down there. It's really good dressing. That family recipe was passed on, and I love to make that. | 105 |
| Harvey V. Fineberg | I spend so much of my day at work. I would like to have the workplace be part of a healthier strategy. Reminding me more about walking the steps rather than taking that elevator. Not just promoting healthier food in the cafeteria, but providing information on healthier choices. I use it when I look at the alternatives. | 105 |
| Jeff Goodell | Australia is the only island continent on the planet, which means that changes caused by planet-warming pollution - warmer seas, which can drive stronger storms, and more acidic oceans, which wreak havoc on the food chain - are even more deadly here. | 105 |
| Jonathan Winters | Well, the most terrible fear that anybody should have is not war, is not a disease, not cancer or heart problems or food poisoning - it's a man or a woman without a sense of humor. | 105 |
| Marian Keyes | Here's how it is: I feel guilty about every single bite of food that goes into my mouth. | 105 |
| Sade Adu | Whatever I'm doing, I'm in that moment and I'm doing it. The rest of the world's lost. If I'm cooking some food or making soup, I want it to be lovely. If not, what's the point of doing it? | 105 |
| Sheherazade Goldsmith | If you're trying to cut down the distance travelled from the farm to your plate, it makes sense to do the same for your pet. If we all shifted our bias towards sustainable pet food, we would be helping more than just our faithful friends. | 105 |
| Carla Hall | For me, I love the flavors of Southern food, and people usually think of Southern food as heavy and fattening, but it doesn't have to be. | 105 |
| Jeremy Rifkin | They're now turning those seeds into intellectual property, so they have a virtual lock on the seeds upon which we all depend for our food and survival. | 105 |
| Joe Bastianich | Frankly, Milan kind of sucks as a restaurant city. It's so fashion-obsessed that people don't pay that much attention to the food. | 105 |
| Joe Perry | I love Indian food - it's my favourite cuisine. I love the mixture of spices and the subtle flavours. It's really erotic; the spices are so sensuous. | 105 |
| Sasha Cohen | I eat a variety of foods like vegetables, fruit and beef for protein and iron. | 105 |
| Mohammed Morsi | If there is a spot where you have dictatorship, where people are not free, people are not satisfied, they do not find food and shelter, they are under the poverty level, this is a dangerous spot for the whole world, because those people will move, and they will move to different places. They will be carrying bad feelings towards others. | 105 |
| Jennifer Lee | I like to say, 'Chop suey's the biggest culinary joke that one culture has ever played on another,' because chop suey, if you translate into Chinese, means 'tsap sui,' which, if you translate back, means 'odds and ends.' | 105 |
| Johnny Ramone | Europe was a horrible place. There was nothing on TV. The food was terrible. And they don't even have ice. Who doesn't have ice? | 105 |
| W. C. Fields | Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water. | 106 |
| Ivan Pavlov | Edible substances evoke the secretion of thick, concentrated saliva. Why? The answer, obviously, is that this enables the mass of food to pass smoothly through the tube leading from the mouth into the stomach. | 106 |
| Julia Child | You learn to cook so that you don't have to be a slave to recipes. You get what's in season and you know what to do with it. | 106 |
| Alice Roosevelt Longworth | You can't make a souffle rise twice. | 106 |
| David Duchovny | I love dogs. They live in the moment and don't care about anything except affection and food. They're loyal and happy. Humans are just too damn complicated. | 106 |
| Diane Abbott | Families are struggling against a tide of junk information on junk food. | 106 |
| Emeril Lagasse | My philosophy from day one is that I can sleep better at night if I can improve an individual's knowledge about food and wine, and do it on a daily basis. | 106 |
| Evo Morales | It's easy for people in an air-conditioned room to continue with the policies of destruction of Mother Earth. We need instead to put ourselves in the shoes of families in Bolivia and worldwide that lack water and food and suffer misery and hunger. | 106 |
| Geoff Mulgan | Understanding capitalism is in some ways simple. At its best, capitalism rewards creators, makers and providers: the people and firms that create valuable things for others, like imaginative technologies and good food, cars and drugs. | 106 |
| Homaro Cantu | Most of us have fond memories of food from our childhood. Whether it was our mom's homemade lasagna or a memorable chocolate birthday cake, food has a way of transporting us back to the past. | 106 |
| Ina Garten | I love to take something ordinary and make it really special. | 106 |
| Joel Salatin | The industrial food system is so cruel and so horrific in its treatment of animals. It never asks the question: 'Should a pig be allowed to express its pig-ness?' | 106 |
| Linus Pauling | I believe that you can, by taking some simple and inexpensive measures, lead a longer life and extend your years of well-being. My most important recommendation is that you take vitamins every day in optimum amounts to supplement the vitamins that you receive in your food. | 106 |
| Mario Batali | The passion of the Italian or the Italian-American population is endless for food and lore and everything about it. | 106 |
| Michael Pollan | In corn, I think I've found the key to the American food chain. If you look at a fast-food meal, a McDonald's meal, virtually all the carbon in it - and what we eat is mostly carbon - comes from corn. | 106 |
| Moliere | One should eat to live, not live to eat. | 106 |
| Padma Lakshmi | People always comment about my clothes. They don't think a fashionable woman can love food and be knowledgeable and actually cook. | 106 |
| Philip Johnson | To me, the drive for monumentality is as inbred as the desire for food and sex, regardless of how we denigrate it. Monuments differ in different periods. Each age has its own. | 106 |
| Robert Mondavi | I always knew the importance of it, since I was three or four years old my mother used to feed me wine and water. I grew up with wine as liquid food. | 106 |
| Saint Bernard | Truly, love is delightful and pleasant food, supplying, as it does, rest to the weary, strength to the weak, and joy to the sorrowful. It in fact renders the yoke of truth easy and its burden light. | 106 |
| Salma Hayek | I have never denied my background or my culture. I have taught my child to embrace her Mexican heritage, to love my first language, Spanish, to learn about Mexican history, music, folk art, food, and even the Mexican candy I grew up with. | 106 |
| Shimon Peres | The Middle East is ailing. The malady stems from pervasive violence, shortages of food, water and educational opportunities, discrimination against women and - the most virulent cause of all - the absence of freedom. | 106 |
| Vince Cable | My late wife Olympia was Goan and I've been to India many times. I love the food there. We used to do our shopping in Southall, where you can find cheap but wonderful fruit like mangoes, vegetables and spices. I didn't do much of the cooking, as Olympia did a lot - I was the under-chef and did some of the chopping. | 106 |
| Wendell Berry | To be interested in food but not in food production is clearly absurd. | 106 |
| A. J. Liebling | The primary requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite. Without this, it is impossible to accumulate, within the allotted span, enough experience of eating to have anything worth setting down. | 106 |
| Becky G | If I can, I love staying in pajamas all day and watching movies and eating good food. | 106 |
| Calvin Trillin | The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found. | 106 |
| Cindy Sheehan | We're not going to cure terrorism and spread peace and goodwill in the Middle East by killing innocent people, or I'm not even saying our bullets and bombs are killing them. The occupation that they don't have food. They don't have clean water. They don't have electricity. They don't have medicine. They don't have doctors. | 106 |
| Debi Mazar | My mom did not have money. She was a single mom, on and off in periods between marriages. My husband, however, grew up on a wonderful farm in Tuscany, in Florence, and his family was so entertaining in terms of growing their own food and using the fruit of their land. We have very, very different experiences. | 106 |
| Doug Larson | Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon. | 106 |
| Dylan Lauren | Every two months, I allow myself a splurge day where I eat thick, doughy pizza from Pizzeria Uno or an ice cream sundae from my store with birthday-cake ice cream, Marshmallow Fluff, and toppings mixed in. | 106 |
| Eddie Huang | Sundays are for Dim Sum. While the rest of America goes to church, Sunday School, or NFL games, you can find Chinese people eating Cantonese food. | 106 |
| Emmet Fox | It is the food which you furnish to your mind that determines the whole character of your life. | 106 |
| Greg Brenneman | Being a consultant is like flying first-class. The food is terrific, the drinks are cold. But all you can do is walk up to the pilot and say, 'bank left.' If you're in management, you have the controls. | 106 |
| Heywood Broun | I doubt whether the world holds for any one a more soul-stirring surprise than the first adventure with ice-cream. | 106 |
| Jeremy Lin | I love eating junk food. I'm a huge snacker, chips and candy. | 106 |
| Louie Schwartzberg | When I heard that the bees were in trouble, the fact that they're disappearing and not coming back to the hive, which is a big issue, since a third of the food we eat comes from plants, I figured you couldn't tell the story of the bees without the story of the flowers and how they basically have evolved together for over 150 years. | 106 |
| Marilu Henner | We tend to connect bad food and bad habits with romance and sex. | 106 |
| Paul Stamets | From dead plant matter to nematodes to bacteria, never underestimate the cleverness of mushrooms to find new food! | 106 |
| Teri Garr | I have an enormous fondness for delicious food. It's very comforting. | 106 |
| Thomas Keller | Food should be fun. | 106 |
| Cat Cora | Chronic malnutrition, or the lack of proper nutrition over time directly contributes to three times as many child deaths as food scarcity. Yet surprisingly, you don't really hear about this hidden crisis through the morning news, Twitter or headlines of major newspapers. | 106 |
| Cathy McMorris Rodgers | Women oftentimes are the ones making those economic decisions, sitting around the kitchen table and trying to figure out how to pay for rising gas prices or food prices or the health insurance costs. | 106 |
| David Gerrold | 'Star Trek' is the McDonald's of science fiction; it's fast food storytelling. Every problem is like every other problem. They all get solved in an hour. Nobody ever gets hurt, and nobody needs to care. You give up an hour of your time, and you don't really have to get involved. It's all plastic. | 106 |
| David Soul | I like to eat and I love the diversity of foods. | 106 |
| Douglas Conant | My most memorable meal is every Thanksgiving. I love the food: the turkey and stuffing; the sweet potatoes and rice, which come from my mother's Southern heritage; the mashed potatoes, which come from my wife's Midwestern roots; the Campbell's green-bean casserole; and of course, pumpkin pie. | 106 |
| Jonathan Safran Foer | Food is not rational. Food is culture, habit, craving and identity. | 106 |
| Marisa Miller | The food and drink that goes along with football is one of the best things: hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and dips. At the stadium I would probably get nachos, but when I'm at home we order pizza a lot. | 106 |
| Mark Udall | Our livelihood is intimately tied to the food we eat, water we drink and places where we recreate. That's why we have to promote responsibility and conservation when it comes to our natural resources. | 106 |
| Prabal Gurung | I mean, I can cook, but I'd get very nervous having my food being judged by dinner guests. | 106 |
| Michael Chang | As long as there's pasta and Chinese food in the world, I'm okay. | 106 |
| Mary Catherine Bateson | Human beings do not eat nutrients, they eat food. | 106 |
| Mother Teresa | If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. | 107 |
| Christopher Hitchens | Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are God. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are God. | 107 |
| Hippocrates | Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. | 107 |
| W. H. Auden | What the mass media offers is not popular art, but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food, forgotten, and replaced by a new dish. | 107 |
| Julia Child | I think one of the terrible things today is that people have this deathly fear of food: fear of eggs, say, or fear of butter. Most doctors feel that you can have a little bit of everything. | 107 |
| Morgan Freeman | Let me be the first to tell you, drinking alcohol is the worst thing to do in cold weather. Hot soup is the best because the process of digesting food helps to warm you up. | 107 |
| Alain Ducasse | Food is one part of the experience. And it has to be somewhere between 50 to 60 percent of the dining experience. But the rest counts as well: The mood, the atmosphere, the music, the feeling, the design, the harmony between what you have on the plate and what surrounds the plate. | 107 |
| Alan King | I learned to cook in self-defense. My wife doesn't know what a kitchen is. In the first month of our marriage, she broiled lamb chops 26 nights in a row. Then I took over. I used to mind her not caring about food, but no more - as long as I can eat what I want. | 107 |
| Billy Crystal | Humans love sex, we need sex, it's how we connect, it reminds us we're alive, it's the third most basic human need, after food and good movie popcorn. | 107 |
| Charlotte Perkins Gilman | The female of the genus homo is economically dependent on the male. He is her food supply. | 107 |
| Christopher Dodd | It's easy for Americans to forget that the food they eat doesn't magically appear on a supermarket shelf. | 107 |
| Desiderius Erasmus | When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes. | 107 |
| Ed Koch | The best way to lose weight is to close your mouth - something very difficult for a politician. Or watch your food - just watch it, don't eat it. | 107 |
| Eric Schlosser | Studies have found that preparing your own food is usually healthier and less expensive than buying fast food. But most people just don't have the time. | 107 |
| Finley Peter Dunne | Most vegetarians look so much like the food they eat that they can be classified as cannibals. | 107 |
| Graydon Carter | A workday lunch that lasts as long as a transcontinental flight is an impossibility for all but the most pliant and footloose of food tourists. To get in the game, you need a thick wallet, an adventurous palate, and a whole lot of time. | 107 |
| Gro Harlem Brundtland | Contaminated food is a major cause of diarrhea, substantially contributing to malnutrition and killing about 2.2 million people each year, most of them children. | 107 |
| Hernan Cortes | There are apothecaries' shops, where prepared medicines, liquids, ointments, and plasters are sold; barbers' shops, where they wash and shave the head; and restaurateurs, that furnish food and drink at a certain price. | 107 |
| Holly Madison | I love chicken fingers, I love French fries. I love desserts. I'm not just into dessert or just into savoury food. I love it all. I'm a pig. I love food. So it takes a lot of discipline to eat healthy. | 107 |
| John Oliver | Sometimes it's good to remember how bad food can be, so you can enjoy the concept of flavour to the fullest. | 107 |
| Michael Pollan | At home I serve the kind of food I know the story behind. | 107 |
| Nellie Bly | In our short walks we passed the kitchen where food was prepared for the nurses and doctors. There we got glimpses of melons and grapes and all kinds of fruits, beautiful white bread and nice meats, and the hungry feeling would be increased tenfold. | 107 |
| Norman Borlaug | Civilization as it is known today could not have evolved, nor can it survive, without an adequate food supply. | 107 |
| Peter De Vries | The murals in restaurants are on par with the food in museums. | 107 |
| Rachael Ray | I tried to bake a cake for my mother's birthday - it took me four hours. It was terrible, and I cried for three days. | 107 |
| Rene Redzepi | Learning about issues such as sustainability and locavorism are things that you need to have as part of you as a chef because it will make you cook more delicious food. | 107 |
| Robert Mondavi | I want to make wines that harmonize with food - wines that almost hug your tongue with gentleness. | 107 |
| Robert Orben | Older people shouldn't eat health food, they need all the preservatives they can get. | 107 |
| Shaun White | I can't stay away from Chinese food. I really love that stuff. | 107 |
| Sophia Loren | Spaghetti can be eaten most successfully if you inhale it like a vacuum cleaner. | 107 |
| Tim Howard | Sure, I like ice cream, but when you keep a healthy lifestyle, it's: Do you prefer sweets and crappy food, or do you prefer to have a nice body? It depends on what you want more. | 107 |
| Valerie Bertinelli | I've realized that I'm more important than food is. I love a big slice of pizza, but I love myself more. Being thin is about changing the way you think about yourself. It's about saying that you deserve to be healthy. | 107 |
| Yotam Ottolenghi | One man's trash is another man's treasure, and the by-product from one food can be perfect for making another. | 107 |
| Alice Waters | We've been so disconnected agriculturally and culturally from food. We spend more time on dieting than on cooking. | 107 |
| Brooke Shields | I was always with a single mom, and we never had schedules or anything. We were just Bohemian, us against the world, which was kind of great, but it certainly didn't breed security. I've gotten hyper-sensitive to schedules and bath time and eating at the dinner table. We don't just 'Bohemian' go out at nine o'clock and go get Chinese food. | 107 |
| Calvin Trillin | I never eat in a restaurant that's over a hundred feet off the ground and won't stand still. | 107 |
| Curtis Stone | It is great to add some glamour to the food industry, like television shows have done for the food world and inspiring people to work in the industry. The flip side of that is unfortunately people think that after they get their qualifications, they get their invitation to compete on 'Top Chef.' | 107 |
| Jet Li | In the States, you can buy Chinese food. In Beijing you can buy hamburger. It's very close. Now I feel the world become a big family, like a really big family. You have many neighbors. Not like before, two countries are far away. | 107 |
| Lynn Margulis | All living beings, not just animals, but plants and microorganisms, perceive. To survive, an organic being must perceive - it must seek, or at least recognize, food and avoid environmental danger. | 107 |
| Martin Rees | Some global hazards are insidious. They stem from pressure on energy supplies, food, water and other natural resources. And they will be aggravated as the population rises to a projected nine billion by mid-century, and by the effects of climate change. An 'ecological shock' could irreversibly degrade our environment. | 107 |
| Neal Barnard | Chicken fat, beef fat, fish fat, fried foods - these are the foods that fuel our fat genes by giving them raw materials for building body fat. | 107 |
| Niger Innis | The slaves had food stamps, too. It was called 'scraps from Massa's table.' | 107 |
| Patricia Ireland | Stewardesses are still paid so little that in many cases, new hires qualify for food stamps. | 107 |
| Sri Mulyani Indrawati | The problem of the food price is structural. The growth of demand cannot be checked in that it is coming from middle income countries demanding more quality and more quantity of food. High demand is here to stay. | 107 |
| Daryl Hannah | That's a big goal of mine, to try and grow as much of my own food as possible. | 107 |
| David Mixner | My family lived off the land and summer evening meals featured baked stuffed tomatoes, potato salad, corn on the cob, fresh shelled peas and homemade ice cream with strawberries from our garden. With no air conditioning in those days, the cool porch was the center of our universe after the scorching days. | 107 |
| Ralph Merkle | Because of technological limits, there is a certain amount of food that we can produce per acre. If we were to have intensive greenhouse agriculture, we could have much higher production. | 107 |
| Jesse McCartney | All I watch is the Food Network. I took a cheesemaking class a few weeks ago, and I told my family and friends to only get me kitchen stuff on my birthday. I'm into every kind of cookbook and anything by Anthony Bourdain. I'd love to own a restaurant if I could find the right chef. | 107 |
| Joe Bastianich | Pasta is the one food I can't live without. It's the food I eat to fuel my running. | 107 |
| Radhanath Swami | We can't really digest food unless there's hunger. So we can't really assimilate spiritual wisdom unless we feel the need for it. | 107 |
| Robin Leach | Whoever would have guessed that in the land of cheap sausages and mashed potatoes there could be such a change which would actually bring the French from Paris every weekend to invade Britain en masse to eat great food and drink great wine. | 107 |
| Roland Joffe | Sitting down to a meal with an Indian family is different from sitting down to a meal with a British family. | 107 |
| Cristin Milioti | On my first date, my boyfriend asked me if I wanted to eat a la carte, and I said that I would prefer to stay inside! | 107 |
| Jasper Carrott | I should be more vocal about the things I believe are doing us harm, but many years ago in my early twenties, I learned a bit of a lesson. I started to realise at that time the benefits of eating healthy food and drink. | 107 |
| John Galsworthy | The French cook; we open tins. | 107 |
| Rodney Dangerfield | I'm at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I've just had a mirror put over my kitchen table. | 108 |
| Ivan Pavlov | It has long been known for sure that the sight of tasty food makes a hungry man's mouth water; also lack of appetite has always been regarded as an undesirable phenomenon, from which one might conclude that appetite is essentially linked with the process of digestion. | 108 |
| Alice Paul | Food simply isn't important to me. | 108 |
| Anthony Bourdain | I've seen zero evidence of any nation on Earth other than Mexico even remotely having the slightest clue what Mexican food is about or even come close to reproducing it. It is perhaps the most misunderstood country and cuisine on Earth. | 108 |
| Colonel Sanders | The food I've liked in my time is American country cookin'. | 108 |
| Dorothy Day | It is easier to have faith that God will support each House of Hospitality and Farming Commune and supply our needs in the way of food and money to pay bills, than it is to keep a strong, hearty, living faith in each individual around us - to see Christ in him. | 108 |
| George Will | A society that thinks the choice between ways of living is just a choice between equally eligible 'lifestyles' turns universities into academic cafeterias offering junk food for the mind. | 108 |
| Guy Fieri | Short of screaming-hot Thai food, everything can be suitable for kids too. | 108 |
| Homaro Cantu | From food trucks to hot dog stands to county fair favorites, 'street food' has enjoyed a rich and storied history in American cuisine. However, street food has been around for thousands of years. In fact, street food is believed to have originated as far back as Ancient Rome. | 108 |
| Jim Gaffigan | Steakhouses sort of have this old-school nature to them; they're like museums full of good food. It's fun hearing the waiter share his expertise on the different cuts of beef and how they're going to cut up your baked potato. | 108 |
| Johnny Carson | I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself. | 108 |
| Mario Batali | As far away as you can get from the process of mechanisms and machinery, the more likely your food's going to taste good. And that - that is probably the largest thing I can hand to anybody is let your hands touch it. Let them make it. | 108 |
| Meek Mill | I work hard. I focus on myself and putting food on my dinner table before anything else. I don't worry about other artists. Worrying about the next person in a negative way is the wrong way to be. | 108 |
| Miranda Lambert | Junk food drags you down. | 108 |
| Norman Borlaug | Man's survival, from the time of Adam and Eve until the invention of agriculture, must have been precarious because of his inability to ensure his food supply. | 108 |
| Paul Dano | I like a restaurant called Bruci, and there's some really nice people who work there and good food. They change their menu a lot, so maybe that's what keeps me coming back. I never know what I'm going to get. | 108 |
| Peter O'Toole | My favorite food from my homeland is Guinness. My second choice in Guinness. My third choice - would have to be Guinness. | 108 |
| Robert Mondavi | Even more importantly, it's wine, food and the arts. Incorporating those three enhances the quality of life. | 108 |
| Saint Basil | First and foremost, the monk should own nothing in this world, but he should have as his possessions solitude of the body, modesty of bearing, a modulated tone of voice, and a well-ordered manner of speech. He should be without anxiety as to his food and drink, and should eat in silence. | 108 |
| Salma Hayek | If you love food and you love red wine and they put you in France, you're in a good place and you're in a bad place at the same time. You have to weigh yourself every day, and you have to have an alarm number. When you get to that number, you have to start putting it in reverse. | 108 |
| Stanley Hauerwas | To be poor does not mean you lack the means to extend charity to another. You may lack money or food, but you have the gift of friendship to overwhelm the loneliness that grips the lives of so many. | 108 |
| Tom Brady | I could talk food all day. I love good food. | 108 |
| Tyler Cowen | If we want to improve American food and make it much cheaper, we should deregulate the food trucks and the other street vendors, provided they meet certain sanitation standards. Many cities have already moved down this path, and people are not keeling over with salmonella. | 108 |
| Virgil Thomson | I said to my friends that if I was going to starve, I might as well starve where the food is good. | 108 |
| William Westmoreland | When I took command in Vietnam, I gave great emphasis to food and medical care - and to the mail. | 108 |
| Alice Waters | 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. | 108 |
| Candice Swanepoel | I feel if I'm healthy and happy, I look good. With a good mixture of fitness and healthy food I always feel great! | 108 |
| Curtis Stone | In my travels, I also noticed that kids in Thailand like spicy food, and kids in India love curry. I'm hoping to introduce my son, Hudson, to lots of veggies and spices when he's young. I say that before he's started on solid foods, so it could be easier in theory than practice! | 108 |
| Dhanush | Music is my breath, blood and food - without music I would perish; the actor in me would die. | 108 |
| Kirstie Alley | My food demons are Chinese food, sugar, butter. | 108 |
| Mark Hyman | Stay away from milk. It is nature's perfect food - but only if you are a calf. | 108 |
| Nathan Deal | If a State has reliable scientific information that demonstrates that a warning is needed for a particular food, then in the interest of public health, it should share that information with the FDA and petition for a new national standard. | 108 |
| Sasha Grey | When it comes to romance, I'm really simple. I am really a 'dinner and a movie' type of person, and I love food, so surprise me and order something different or adventurous when it comes to food, and I'm like a kid at Halloween. | 108 |
| Ted Allen | Believe me, I understand the need for easy and speedy. After a 12-hour day of shooting 'Chopped,' say, I'm talking stir-fry, spaghetti, heck, peanut-butter sandwiches. But that's not about the joy of food. That's survival. | 108 |
| Dikembe Mutombo | My mother taught us to sell food in the market so we could pay for school. I would get up at 4:30 A.M. and start selling bread and cheese before going to class. School cost $65. The average salary was $125 a year, and with 10 kids, how are you going to pay for that? | 108 |
| Jim DeMint | Well, we lost a lot of our independence already. We are dependent on China for credit. We are dependent on Middle Eastern countries for energy supplies. And many Americans are dependent on the government for their income, health care, education of their children, food stamps. | 108 |
| Kiran Desai | I'm always in the kitchen, cooking and experimenting - I love it. And every now and then I think, 'I should write a cookbook' or, 'I should write for food magazines.' And then I get drawn back to writing fiction again. | 108 |
| Sheherazade Goldsmith | I love judging food by its smell and feel and taste. The healthiest tomato isn't always the perfect one that's been covered in pesticides. | 108 |
| Steve Sabol | There have been nine Super Bowls in New Orleans, and not all of them have brought the best of luck to NFL Films. We got robbed twice there, got food poisoning, and my hotel room was broken into on the day the Bears played the Patriots in January 1986. | 108 |
| Jacques Pepin | I taped my first series for PBS in 1982 at WJCT-TV in Jacksonville, Florida. The show, called 'Everyday Cooking with Jacques Pepin,' was about saving time and money in the kitchen - and it was a celebration of simple and unpretentious food. | 108 |
| Marcelene Cox | Eating without conversation is only stoking. | 108 |
| Nikola Tesla | We have soon to have everywhere smoke annihilators, dust absorbers, ozonizers, sterilizers of water, air, food and clothing, and accident preventers on streets, elevated roads and in subways. It will become next to impossible to contract disease germs or get hurt in the city, and country folk will got to town to rest and get well. | 109 |
| Woody Allen | The food here is terrible, and the portions are too small. | 109 |
| Alton Brown | I say grace. I'm a big believer in grace. I happen to believe in a God that made all the food and so I'm pretty grateful for that and I thank him for that. But I'm also thankful for the people that put the food on the table. | 109 |
| Anthony Bourdain | You have an impeccable argument if you said that Singapore, Hong Kong, and Tokyo are food capitals. They have a maximum amount of great stuff to eat in the smallest areas. | 109 |
| Bernie Siegel | If we had no hope - for a cure, for winning the lottery, for falling in love, for the end of war, for being free of abuse, or for having food, warmth, clothing, and shelter - we would have no reason to go on. What you hope for doesn't matter, but rather the essence of hope itself. | 109 |
| Christian Nestell Bovee | Music is the fourth great material want, first food, then clothes, then shelter, then music. | 109 |
| Diane Abbott | When fast food is not a treat but a dietary staple, the children surf the internet all day in dark corners of the room and are bombarded with latest gadgets. Things replace parental standards. | 109 |
| Eric Schlosser | I'm all in favor of animal rights, but I'd like to see the food movement take a much stronger stand in defense of basic human rights. If you're a vegan or a vegetarian, you should care about the people who are picking your fruits and vegetables by hand. | 109 |
| Fran Lebowitz | My favorite animal is steak. | 109 |
| Ginnifer Goodwin | I can safely say that other than macaroni and cheese, there's no processed food in my life. There's no inorganic food in my life these days. There's no junk food. There's not a lot of sugar. There's no soy. I mean, really everything that's going into my body is pretty pure. | 109 |
| Katherine Heigl | I'm too lazy and I like food and I like my free time too much to spend it working out! | 109 |
| Kirk Cameron | Put your nose into the Bible everyday. It is your spiritual food. And then share it. Make a vow not to be a lukewarm Christian. | 109 |
| Margot Robbie | I love flying so much. I even like airplane food. No one bothers you and your phone never goes off and you can't have emails go through. It's undisturbed. | 109 |
| Michael Pollan | Perhaps more than any other, the food industry is very sensitive to consumer demand. | 109 |
| Michael Specter | All the food we eat, whether Brussels sprouts or pork bellies, has been modified by mankind. Genetic engineering is only one particularly powerful way to do what we have been doing for eleven thousand years. | 109 |
| Phil Donahue | Miss Child is never bashful with butter. | 109 |
| Rachael Ray | Good food and a warm kitchen are what makes a house a home. I always tried to make my home like my mother's, because Mom was magnificent at stretching a buck when it came to decorating and food. Like a true Italian, she valued beautification in every area of her life, and I try to do the same. | 109 |
| Ray Kroc | We provide food that customers love, day after day after day. People just want more of it. | 109 |
| Steve Wynn | I'm killing two birds at once, so to speak. Animal-based food kills people. This way, by going vegan... we get healthy and save animals. I'm being selfish, too, because if I can get my employees healthier, we cut down on sick days and gain more productivity. | 109 |
| Tabatha Coffey | During a color consultation, I like to reference food as a visual. Hot fudge and orange marmalade paint a clearer picture and helps prevent end results that leave you feeling unsatisfied. | 109 |
| Tom Brady | My sisters like cooking at my place. It has a bit more room, and the food tastes a little bit better. A big pot of spaghetti and sauce, some warm French bread - works all the time. I think I've been eating pasta for 26 years. | 109 |
| Vir Das | I love the food, the girls, the sky and everything that is Delhi. I have very fond memories of the Moolchand flyover. | 109 |
| Avril Lavigne | When I tour, I stuff fridges full of organic food and stick to that. | 109 |
| Bethenny Frankel | Never eat while doing something else, because you won't get the satisfaction from your food and you'll be more likely to overeat. | 109 |
| Carl Honore | Everywhere, people are discovering that doing things more slowly often means doing them better and enjoying them more. It means living life instead of rushing through it. You can apply this to everything from food to parenting to work. | 109 |
| Eva Longoria | I'm a terrific Mexican cook, and I just love Mexican food. And I love cooking Mexican food. | 109 |
| Kenny Loggins | My quest these days is to find my long lost inner child, but I'm afraid if I do, I'll end up with food in my hair and way too in love with the cats. | 109 |
| Mark Hyman | The very fact that we are having a national conversation about what we should eat, that we are struggling with the question about what the best diet is, is symptomatic of how far we have strayed from the natural conditions that gave rise to our species, from the simple act of eating real, whole, fresh food. | 109 |
| Mike Nichols | American society to me and my brother was thrilling because, first of all, the food made noise. We were so excited about Rice Krispies and Coca-Cola. We had only silent food in our country, and we loved listening to our lunch and breakfast. | 109 |
| Michael Symon | I don't think any other holiday embraces the food of the Midwest quite like Thanksgiving. There's roasted meat and mashed potatoes. But being here is also about heritage. Cleveland is really a giant melting pot - not only is my family a melting pot, but so is the city. | 109 |
| Timothy Ferriss | Food became for me a way of becoming self-sufficient with my hands, to regain manual literacy, which I think has been lost on our generation and certainly younger generations. Very few people can actually make things with their hands and do things with their hands. | 109 |
| Jane Velez-Mitchell | It was gross enough for fast food restaurants to ban, but apparently our government wants so-called pink slime to be a staple in your kids' lunches. | 109 |
| Joel Fuhrman | Food is really and truly the most effective medicine. | 109 |
| Malin Akerman | I'm a big pasta fan. I'm a big Italian food fan. Anything Italian - I love cheese, mozzarella. Mozzarella is my favorite, so I have to say anything Italian, I'll take it. | 109 |
| Masaharu Morimoto | Culture and tradition have to change little by little. So 'new' means a little twist, a marriage of Japanese technique with French ingredients. My technique. Indian food, Korean food; I put Italian mozzarella cheese with sashimi. I don't think 'new new new.' I'm not a genius. A little twist. | 109 |
| William Shakespeare | If music be the food of love, play on. | 110 |
| W. C. Fields | I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food. | 110 |
| Vivienne Westwood | I'm frugal. I'm not a very acquisitive woman. I never waste food. If you prepare your own food, you engage with the world, it tastes alive. It tastes good. | 110 |
| Alfred Nobel | I am a misanthrope and yet utterly benevolent, have more than one screw loose yet am a super-idealist who digests philosophy more efficiently than food. | 110 |
| Anthony Bourdain | Hong Kong is a wonderful, mixed-up town where you've got great food and adventure. First and foremost, it's a great place to experience China in a relatively accessible way. | 110 |
| Dean Kamen | Nothing that has value, real value, has no cost. Not freedom, not food, not shelter, not healthcare. | 110 |
| Elayne Boosler | Ever notice that Soup for One is eight aisles away from Party Mix? | 110 |
| Gilbert Gottfried | If someone else is paying for it, food just tastes a lot better. | 110 |
| Guy Fieri | I don't know what singers feel like when they make a song and people clap along and love it, but when people walk up to me and say the food was outstanding, that's what it is all about. I cook because I like to make people happy. | 110 |
| Hugh Jackman | To this day, I am the least materialistic person I know, because my father didn't raise me to just go out and buy this or that car. The only reason I wanted to make money as an actor was because I'm passionate about food! | 110 |
| Ingrid Newkirk | Real nutrition comes from soybeans, almonds, rice, and other healthy vegetable sources, not from a cow's udder. | 110 |
| Joel Salatin | Nobody trusts the industrial food system to give them good food. | 110 |
| Kevin Rudd | But Australia faces additional regional and global challenges also crucial to our nation's future - climate change, questions of energy and food security, the rise of China and the rise of India. And we need a strong system of global and regional relationships and institutions to underpin stability. | 110 |
| Martin Scorsese | If your mother cooks Italian food, why should you go to a restaurant? | 110 |
| Michael Pollan | Fairness forces you - even when you're writing a piece highly critical of, say, genetically modified food, as I have done - to make sure you represent the other side as extensively and as accurately as you possibly can. | 110 |
| Michael Stipe | I've always felt that sexuality is a really slippery thing. In this day and age, it tends to get categorized and labeled, and I think labels are for food. Canned food. | 110 |
| Olivia Wilde | I have very high standards for every part of life - my work, my relationships, food, love. I can't just pretend. | 110 |
| Peter Capaldi | I don't think I would have been great in the 17th century. I would have enjoyed the frocks, and certainly some of the food would have been appealing, but the disease and hygiene would have worried me. | 110 |
| Rachael Ray | It only looks like I get to eat a lot of food on TV. I really just get the one bite and the crew and guests eat everything else. | 110 |
| Rachel Nichols | I definitely try to eat a healthy diet, but I am the first person to say I love unhealthy food. I would never tell you I don't. I love fried chicken or mac and cheese. Do I order them all the time when I'm out at restaurants? No, though I do have one splurge meal a week. | 110 |
| Robert Redford | Health food may be good for the conscience but Oreos taste a hell of a lot better. | 110 |
| Syd Barrett | I'd like to be rich. I'd like a lot of money to put into my physicals and to buy food for all my friends. | 110 |
| Wentworth Miller | I had a brief experience in the food industry. I was a bus boy in a Mexican restaurant in Arizona, scraping re-fried beans off people's plates. It teaches you a bit of humility and the importance of a good deodorant. | 110 |
| Gayle King | I have an impressionable palate. A well-worded menu or beautifully presented dish excites me. I get a great deal of pleasure just thinking about food. | 110 |
| Leigh Hunt | If you are ever at a loss to support a flagging conversation, introduce the subject of eating. | 110 |
| Michael Franti | I eat bags and bags of cashews. I've got them in the kitchen, and about ten feet away I've got another bowl on the kitchen table. In my backpack, I've always got a bag of cashews. I started eating them in the airports because that's the one food that you can find in every airport that's actually nutritious. | 110 |
| Sebastian Bach | I never really knew what fine cuisine was when I was a little boy in Canada. For me, Italian food was 'Kraft Dinner' or pizza. When I moved to New York, that's when I discovered all the Italian food. | 110 |
| Andrew Luck | The sweetest thing we ever had was, like, animal crackers in the pantry. I think my parents sort of passively made sure that we didn't have a lot of junk food at our disposal, and I think that helped me and all my siblings growing up with how to approach nutrition and eating right. | 110 |
| Joel Fuhrman | Healthy people eating healthy food should never need to take an antibiotic. | 110 |
| Jonathan Winters | The most terrible fear that anybody should have is not war, is not a disease, not cancer or heart problems or food poisoning - it's a man or a woman without a sense of humor. | 110 |
| Sai Baba | Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, thereby putting an end to the very essence of life contained in them. | 111 |
| Al Sharpton | I was raised by a single mother who made a way for me. She used to scrub floors as a domestic worker, put a cleaning rag in her pocketbook and ride the subways in Brooklyn so I would have food on the table. But she taught me as I walked her to the subway that life is about not where you start, but where you're going. That's family values. | 111 |
| Brendan Behan | I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. | 111 |
| Chris Rock | There are only three things women need in life: food, water, and compliments. | 111 |
| David Chang | America is a country of abundance, but our food culture is sad - based on huge portions and fast food. Let's stop with the excuses and start creating something better. | 111 |
| Donnie Yen | I always used to wonder why American actors were getting fat, then I made a U.S. movie. I'm seeing all the food every day, and there's lots of waiting around because making an American movie is very slow. | 111 |
| Eric Ries | Entrepreneurs always pitch their idea as 'the X of Y', so this is going to be 'the Microsoft of food.' And yet disruptive innovations usually don't have that character. Most of the time, if something seems like a good idea, it probably isn't. | 111 |
| Francis Collins | I'm aware there are certain products that are being advertised - food products - with 'no chemicals whatsoever.' Well, that would be pretty hard to arrange, since everything around us is made up of atoms and molecules - chemicals - including ourselves. | 111 |
| Gwyneth Paltrow | Creating a meal for my friends and family, sitting together, eating, laughing and talking - that is when I am so happy. Oh my God, if you could see how much food I make - I am the original Jewish mother. | 111 |
| Marcus Samuelsson | We struggle with eating healthily, obesity, and access to good nutrition for everyone. But we have a great opportunity to get on the right side of this battle by beginning to think differently about the way that we eat and the way that we approach food. | 111 |
| Marianne Williamson | The Project Angel Food Program's mission is to nourish the body and spirit of men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS and other serious illness. The Project Angel Food Program delivers free and nutritious meals prepared with love. We act out of a sense of urgency because hunger and illness cannot wait. | 111 |
| Yotam Ottolenghi | Fusion food as a concept is kind of trying to quite consciously fuse things that are sometimes quite contradictory, sometimes quite far apart, to see if they'd work. | 111 |
| Edward Thorndike | There is no reasoning, no process of inference or comparison; there is no thinking about things, no putting two and two together; there are no ideas - the animal does not think of the box or of the food or of the act he is to perform. | 111 |
| Jason Silva | Technology is, of course, a double edged sword. Fire can cook our food but also burn us. | 111 |
| Justin Timberlake | With the exception of octopus, I don't think I've met any food that I didn't like. And by the way, sometimes I do like octopus. I'm just not crazy about it by itself. I love sea urchin. I love uni. If I'm going to die of anything, it's going to be gluttony. | 111 |
| Steve Aoki | My favorite food is Ramen. | 111 |
| Tom Vilsack | The lack of access to proper nutrition is not only fueling obesity, it is leading to food insecurity and hunger among our children. | 111 |
| Brian Skerry | New England waters are some of my favorite - they are some of the richest waters because they are temperate waters and nutrient-rich, and therefore provide food for so many animals, from giant whales to sharks to everything else. | 111 |
| John Piper | Woe to us if we get our satisfaction from the food in the kitchen and the TV in the den and the sex in the bedroom with an occasional tribute to the cement blocks in the basement! | 111 |
| Martin Yan | If I could only have one type of food with me, I would bring soy sauce. The reason being that if I have soy sauce, I can flavor a lot of things. | 111 |
| Kanye West | I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family it says they're looting, if you see a white family it says they're looking for food. | 112 |
| Ivan Pavlov | From the described experiment it is clear that the mere act of eating, the food even not reaching the stomach, determines the stimulation of the gastric glands. | 112 |
| Julia Child | Animals that we eat are raised for food in the most economical way possible, and the serious food producers do it in the most humane way possible. I think anyone who is a carnivore needs to understand that meat does not originally come in these neat little packages. | 112 |
| Andy Cohen | St. Louis has a lot of weird food customs that you don't see other places - and a lot of great ethnic neighborhoods. There's a German neighborhood. A great old school Italian neighborhood, with toasted ravioli, which seems to be a St. Louis tradition. And they love provolone cheese in St. Louis. | 112 |
| Anthony Bourdain | Those places I don't understand, just doing bad food. It takes some doing. Making good pasta is so much easier than making bad stuff. It actually takes quite an effort to make poor linguine pomodora. | 112 |
| David Chang | Growing up, my dad owned a restaurant in Washington, DC, and food was something I was passionate about. But when I finally got into it, I felt like it was so late in the game; that's why I worked seven days a week at Craft and Mercer Kitchen. I wanted to see how far I could take it. | 112 |
| Giada De Laurentiis | My grandfather gave me inspiration to cook, and love food and flavors. My Aunt Raffie, gave me creativity and the inspiration to create new things. My mother inspires me to find simplicity in food. | 112 |
| Rachael Ray | When you're out grocery shopping for your family, maybe you can put a can of cat or dog food in your cart and bring it to an animal relief center. | 112 |
| Ted Nugent | Vegetarians are cool. All I eat are vegetarians - except for the occasional mountain lion steak. | 112 |
| Tyra Banks | Global warming will threaten our crops, so natural food will be scarce. Hourglass, curvy bodies will be the aspirational beauty standard, representing that those women have access to bounties of fulfilling yet healthy food, which means they are affluent. | 112 |
| Bill Rancic | I cook a lot of Italian food. Bucatini Pomodoro is my best: it's a fat spaghetti with tomato, olive oil, and reminds me of getting married in Italy. | 112 |
| Sandra Lee | Christmas is more stressful with present buying and making sure everyone gets included, but Thanksgiving is really not that. I don't ever really get stressed out about the food. | 112 |
| Sarah McLachlan | I've never dieted in my life; I like food too much. I'm just thoughtful about what I eat, and I'm lucky that I love the taste of vegetables. I'm certainly not 'actress skinny,' and I never will be. I'm strong, and my body works great for me. | 112 |
| Sebastian Bach | Quebec City is the most European of any city in North America; they speak French all the time. There is a part of town called Old Quebec which is really like being in France. The architecture is just gorgeous, food, shopping. I'd say Quebec City is the most beautiful city in North America I've seen. | 112 |
| Cat Cora | I think about food all the time. It's my passion; it's my profession. But some people think about food all the time because they're hungry. We can put an end to this if we join forces and lend a hand. | 112 |
| John Ridley | To this day, the only argument against Obama that critics can seem to come up with involves admitting he's better than them - though they certainly season it with some racism. You know, he's that lucky black man who actually appeals to the populace. He's that elitist who got himself off food stamps and into Harvard. | 112 |
| Josh Hutcherson | Well, food's always the way to anybody's heart, I think, guy or girl. | 112 |
| Shay Mitchell | I'm reading a lot of different books, but I always think I have to switch it up a little bit. It's like food - everything in moderation, same with my books, same with my reading. You read books that are good for you and you learn a lot of stuff, then you read 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' which is like candy. | 112 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | I do love Italian food. Any kind of pasta or pizza. My new pig out food is Indian food. I eat Indian food like three times a week. It's so good. | 112 |
| Mark Twain | Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. | 113 |
| Audrey Hepburn | Let's face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me. | 113 |
| Dwayne Johnson | I'll never, ever be full. I'll always be hungry. Obviously, I'm not talking about food. Growing up, I had nothing for such a long time. Someone told me a long time ago, and I've never forgotten it, 'Once you've ever been hungry, really, really hungry, then you'll never, ever be full.' | 113 |
| Bobby Flay | My contribution I hope is to get people to eat full-flavored food. If I could come away with that alone, that would be a fantastic accomplishment. I'm also very proud of being a very American chef. | 113 |
| Eric Schlosser | Hey, I used to eat at McDonald's: I liked the taste of the food, especially the French fries. | 113 |
| Guru Nanak | Me, the bard out of work, the Lord has applied to His service. In the very beginning, He gave me the order to sing His praises night and day. The Master summoned the minstrel to His True Court. He clothed me with the robe of His true honour and eulogy. Since then, the True Name had become my ambrosial food. | 113 |
| Guy Fieri | Liver is my number one most hated food. Oh, God, I get sick talking about it! | 113 |
| Homaro Cantu | Sitting down and sharing a meal together combines two of my favorite loves: eating great food and talking about great food. | 113 |
| Joel Salatin | From zoning to labor to food safety to insurance, local food systems daily face a phalanx of regulatory hurdles designed and implemented to police industrial food models but which prejudicially wipe out the antidote: appropriate scaled local food systems. | 113 |
| L'Wren Scott | Peruvian food is so simple yet amazingly flavored with their traditional spices. | 113 |
| Nathan Myhrvold | The physics of water is central to cooking, because food is mostly water. All steak that you cook is actually boiled on the inside. | 113 |
| Paula Deen | I don't want to spend my life not having good food going into my pie hole. That hole was made for pies. | 113 |
| Rachael Ray | You know, food is such - it's a hug for people. | 113 |
| Sandra Cisneros | I spent my thirties living out of boxes and moving every six months to a year. It was my cloud period: I just wandered like a cloud for ten years, following the food supply. I was a hunter, gatherer, an academic migrant. | 113 |
| Victoria Moran | As I see it, a green salad is an open invitation to carrots, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and the sprouts that grow in jars on my kitchen counter. | 113 |
| Wale | I'm very proud of my Nigerian heritage. I wasn't fortunate enough to be raised in a heavy Nigerian environment, because my parents were always working. My father was with D.C. Cabs and my mother worked in fast food and was a nurse. | 113 |
| Allen West | Well, first of all, we've got to get away from being offended by the truth. We've seen a 41 percent increase in food stamp recipients across the United States of America since President Obama was sworn in in January 2009. That has nothing to do with black, white, Hispanic or whatever. It's a fact, and we need to, you know, deal with that. | 113 |
| Jonathan Sacks | Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holy of holies of Jewish time. It is that rarest of phenomena, a Jewish festival without food. Instead it is a day of fasting and prayer, introspection and self-judgment when, collectively and repeatedly, we confess our sins and pray to be written into God's Book of Life. | 113 |
| Jose Andres | I realized very early the power of food to evoke memory, to bring people together, to transport you to other places, and I wanted to be a part of that. | 113 |
| Mary-Kate Olsen | Australia is so cool that it's hard to even know where to start describing it. The beaches are beautiful; so is the weather. Not too crowded. Great food, great music, really nice people. It must be a lot like Los Angeles was many years ago. | 113 |
| Marianne Faithfull | I was anorexic in the '60s and '70s, although it wasn't called anorexia then. I thought people would be nicer to me if I looked very small and delicate, so food wasn't high on my agenda. But it is now. | 113 |
| Sally Schneider | Confit is the ultimate comfort food, and trendy or not, it is dazzling stuff. | 113 |
| Franz Kafka | So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being. | 114 |
| Mitch Hedberg | Fettucini alfredo is macaroni and cheese for adults. | 114 |
| Julia Child | As we say in the American Institute of Wine and Food, small helpings, no seconds. A little bit of everything. No snacking. And have a good time. | 114 |
| Alton Brown | I spent a college semester in a small town in Italy - and that is where I truly tasted food for the first time. | 114 |
| Anthony Bourdain | Nobody in Singapore drinks Singapore Slings. It's one of the first things you find out there. What you do in Singapore is eat. It's a really food-crazy culture, where all of this great food is available in a kind of hawker-stand environment. | 114 |
| Emeril Lagasse | Music is one of those things that is constantly going in my head all the time. It's sort of like the evolution and creation of doing food, or my philosophy about wine. It's always beating in my head, so it keeps the spirit moving. | 114 |
| Homaro Cantu | You know, I want to eat junk food. My kids love junk food. | 114 |
| Kareena Kapoor Khan | One should eat everything especially healthy and not junk food. I don't like the idea of starving. I would eat and burn it out in gym. The amount of intake is what matters. | 114 |
| Marcus Samuelsson | While some people may think being a chef only entails making enticing dishes and pushing the culinary boundaries, being a part of the food industry involves much more. | 114 |
| Mario Batali | Everyone makes pesto in a food processor. But the texture is better with a mortar and pestle, and it's just as fast. | 114 |
| Phil Anselmo | Everyone's gonna have their opinion, everyone's gonna have their favorite bands. The best way I can describe it is music is like food, either you love it, hate it, or are indifferent about it. Or you grow up and acquire a taste for it. | 114 |
| Rachael Ray | We created a line of pet food called Nutrish that's made to human standards, and 100 percent of the proceeds go to animal rescue. One of our top-tier donors is the ASPCA, and they help us challenge animal shelters all across the country to get more animals placed in homes. | 114 |
| Robert M. Pirsig | Metaphysics is a restaurant where they give you a thirty thousand page menu, and no food. | 114 |
| Alison Sweeney | The number one mistake is giving pets table scraps. I made the mistake thinking I was showing my dog love by giving her food and treats. You see a tiny 4 oz. piece of cheese, but for a Boston Terrier like mine, that's like one and a half hamburgers. That's unhealthy. | 114 |
| Michael Shermer | The case for exploiting animals for food, clothing and entertainment often relies on our superior intelligence, language and self-awareness: the rights of the superior being trump those of the inferior. | 114 |
| Arjun Rampal | I look at fitness as a necessity in the same way as how you drink water, eat food, one should look at fitness in a dedicated way. People will look fresh and happy. If you are happy, you in a way look fit. | 114 |
| John Barrymore | I would like to find a stew that will give me heartburn immediately, instead of at three o clock in the morning. | 114 |
| Nikola Tesla | I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything. | 115 |
| Alan Alda | I love oatmeal. To me, it's not boring. I agree that ordinary oatmeal is very boring, but not the steel-cut Irish kind - the kind that pops in your mouth when you bite into it in little glorious bursts like a sort of gummy champagne. | 115 |
| Alton Brown | Everything in food is science. The only subjective part is when you eat it. | 115 |
| Andrea Bocelli | It's important for me who is at the table with me; the moment when everyone speaks to each other and everyone listens. If there's good food, it's much better. | 115 |
| Carol Burnett | But I don't begrudge anybody, because I know how hard it is to have that dream and to make it happen, whether or not it's just to put a roof over your head and food on the table. | 115 |
| Chinua Achebe | I tell my students, it's not difficult to identify with somebody like yourself, somebody next door who looks like you. What's more difficult is to identify with someone you don't see, who's very far away, who's a different color, who eats a different kind of food. When you begin to do that then literature is really performing its wonders. | 115 |
| George Muller | Do but stand still in the hour of trial, and you will see the help of God, if you trust in Him. But there is so often a forsaking the ways of the Lord in the hour of trial, and thus the food of faith, the means whereby our faith may be increased, is lost. | 115 |
| Giada De Laurentiis | My grandfather's family used to own a pasta factory in Naples and they would go door-to-door selling their pasta. So his love of food came from his parents, which was then passed down to my mother and then again to me. | 115 |
| Jamie Oliver | If you only design menus that are essentially junk or fast food, the whole infrastructure supports junk. | 115 |
| Mario Batali | Cookbooks have all become baroque and very predictable. I'm looking for something different. A lot of chefs' cookbooks are food as it's done in the restaurants, but they are dumbed down, and I hate it when they dumb them down. | 115 |
| Michael Specter | We're lying ourselves into believing things are untrue, like organic food will solve all our problems, or vitamins will make us healthy, or we don't need to vaccinate our children. | 115 |
| Paula Deen | I have my new food line in the works - I think it's over 200 items. Hopefully I can make a difference; it's delicious food that's just so easy. I think it'll help people enjoy their lives... it's good! | 115 |
| Penelope Cruz | I love Spanish food. My diet is the Mediterranean diet, which is good food. I eat well. | 115 |
| Rachael Ray | Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet - the fish guy at your market, the lady at the local diner, farmers, cheese makers. Ask questions, try everything and eat up! | 115 |
| Bruce Dickinson | When you cut human beings down to size, we're really quite simple creatures; food, shelter, warmth, light, heat and you build it up from there really until you finally go Gucci shoes or whatever it is or whatever your consumer desires are. All those desires are ultimately, they're about gratification. | 115 |
| Carl Honore | In our fast-forward culture, we have lost the art of eating well. Food is often little more than fuel to pour down the hatch while doing other stuff - surfing the Web, driving, walking along the street. Dining al desko is now the norm in many workplaces. All of this speed takes a toll. Obesity, eating disorders and poor nutrition are rife. | 115 |
| Julia Child | Because of media hype and woefully inadequate information, too many people nowadays are deathly afraid of their food, and what does fear of food do to the digestive system? I am sure that an unhappy or suspicious stomach, constricted and uneasy with worry, cannot digest properly. | 116 |
| Marcus Tullius Cicero | Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world. | 116 |
| Alton Brown | You know most of the food that Americans hold so dear - things like hamburgers and hot dogs - were road food, but even before they were road food, they were peasant food. | 116 |
| Giada De Laurentiis | Food was always a big part of my life. My grandfather was one of 14 kids, and his parents had a pasta factory, so as a kid, he and his siblings would sell pasta door to door. After he became a movie producer, he opened up De Laurentiis Food Stores - one in Los Angeles and one in New York. | 116 |
| Hugh Jackman | I love food, all types of food. I love Korean food, Japanese, Italian, French. In Australia, we don't have a distinctive Australian food, so we have food from everywhere all around the world. We're very multicultural, so we grew up with lots of different types of food. | 116 |
| Mary Shelley | The agony of my feelings allowed me no respite; no incident occurred from which my rage and misery could not extract its food. | 116 |
| Michael Pollan | People in Slow Food understand that food is an environmental issue. | 116 |
| Michael Specter | When people say they prefer organic food, what they often seem to mean is they don't want their food tainted with pesticides and their meat shot full of hormones or antibiotics. Many object to the way a few companies - Monsanto is the most famous of them - control so many of the seeds we grow. | 116 |
| Saint Ambrose | God created the universe in such a manner that all in common might derive their food from it, and that the Earth should also be a property common to all. | 116 |
| Saint Basil | Now, if you notice how the swan, putting its neck down into the deep water, brings up food for itself from below, then you will discover the wisdom of the Creator, in that He gave it a neck longer than its feet for this reason, that it might, as if lowering a sort of fishing line, procure the food hidden in the deep water. | 116 |
| Yotam Ottolenghi | Stereotypical vegetarian food looks gray and brown. | 116 |
| Andrew Weil | Everyone prefers some foods over others, but some adults take this tendency to an extreme. These people tend to prefer the kinds of bland food they may have enjoyed as children - such as plain or buttered pasta, macaroni and cheese, cheese pizza, French fries and grilled cheese sandwiches - and to restrict their eating to just a few dishes. | 116 |
| Scarlett Johansson | I still eat a burger at a counter with ketchup dripping down my face. | 117 |
| Dita Von Teese | I suppose women are attracted to the bad-boy image sometimes because it's fun to have an adventure. It's like eating junk food... it's fun at the time, but ultimately not the best choice. | 117 |
| Garrison Keillor | The highlight of my childhood was making my brother laugh so hard that food came out of his nose. | 117 |
| Henry Fielding | LOVE: A word properly applied to our delight in particular kinds of food; sometimes metaphorically spoken of the favorite objects of all our appetites. | 117 |
| Jamie Oliver | I wouldn't say that processed food, ready meals and even takeaways aren't relevant to modern life, it's just that over the past 40 years there are three generations of people who have come out of school and gone through their home life without ever being shown how to cook properly. | 117 |
| Jim Gaffigan | I'm a big eater. I mean, a lot of my stand-up is about food, and you write about what you know, and that's the only thing I know. I don't know anything else. | 117 |
| Niall Horan | Queuing tips for fans: wrap up and bring food! | 117 |
| Paula Deen | I wake up every morning happy for where I am in life. It's not all about the cooking, but the fact that I can contribute by using my influence to help people all over the country. In the last two years, my partners and I have fed more than 10 million hungry people by bringing meat to food banks. | 117 |
| Tom Colicchio | Hunger is a political issue, and there are several things politically that are keeping people hungry - not funding food stamps adequately, not funding school lunches adequately. So there is a political solution to the problem of hunger. | 117 |
| Ziggy Marley | If food is labeled, some people might choose to eat stuff that's genetically modified. They might decide they love it. But give us a choice. | 117 |
| Carl Honore | Turn the preparing of food into a communal affair by enlisting others to help with the chopping, grating, stirring, simmering, tasting and seasoning. When the cooking is finished, eat together round the table with the electronic gadgets switched off so you can savor the food and let the conversation flow. | 117 |
| Jose Andres | In America, diner food or roadside barbecue is the best road food, but I am not a fan of eating while driving - too messy. | 117 |
| Alfred Nobel | A heart can no more be forced to love than a stomach can be forced to digest food by persuasion. | 118 |
| Roger Federer | I am a sucker for those old traditional places, and Rome is as good as it gets, particularly when you throw in Italian food. | 118 |
| Steve Carell | The best food is in Chicago. There are great restaurants everywhere, from fancy places to burger joints. | 118 |
| Leighton Meester | I couldn't relate to kid stuff. 'Jimmy doesn't like me!' Who cares? I was worried we didn't have gas money or food. Those were my concerns. | 118 |
| Mario Testino | I am very much about promoting Lima because I think Peru and the mountains and the Incas, everybody is aware of those, but Lima is something that people should discover - especially our food. | 118 |
| Suzanne Somers | Fresh, organic, cage-free eggs that slip right out of the shell are a versatile gift of the food world and can be transformed into a variety of tasty meals. | 118 |
| Kurt Cobain | It's okay to eat fish because they don't have any feelings. | 119 |
| Lord Byron | A woman should never be seen eating or drinking, unless it be lobster salad and Champagne, the only true feminine and becoming viands. | 119 |
| Taylor Swift | I think about food literally all day every day. It's a thing. | 119 |
| Julia Child | I was lucky to marry Paul. He was a great inspiration, his enthusiasm about wine and food helped to shape my tastes, and his encouragement saw me through discouraging moments. I never would have had my career without Paul Child. | 119 |
| Giada De Laurentiis | I'm into very colorful food. Obviously lots of flavor, but I think we eat with our eyes first, so it has to look great. The presentation has to be great. | 119 |
| Hugh Jackman | If I'm a lush at anything, it's food and drink. I'm not materialistic in any way, but I value food. | 119 |
| Marcus Samuelsson | Every time you use the word 'healthy,' you lose. The key is to make yummy, delicious food that happens to be healthy. | 119 |
| Nick Cannon | I always say that candy is the perfect studio food - it keeps your energy going. | 119 |
| Marc Jacobs | Luxury is anything you don't need, right? I mean, you need food, water, clothing, shelter... but good wine, good food, beautiful interiors, nice clothes; those aren't necessities, they are luxuries - it's all luxury. | 119 |
| Matisyahu | What is it to keep kosher? Is it eating kosher potato chips? Kosher is a bigger idea. I think it's about being healthy. But according to some people, it's about not eating this food because it's forbidden by the Jewish law. My view of the halachah changed a little bit. The laws are there hopefully to be a tool. | 119 |
| Dave Barry | The only kind of seafood I trust is the fish stick, a totally featureless fish that doesn't have eyeballs or fins. | 120 |
| Al Franken | If 98 out of 100 doctors tell me I've got a problem, I should take their advice. And if those two other doctors get paid by Big Snack Food, like certain climate deniers get paid by Big Coal, I shouldn't take their advice. | 120 |
| Anthony Bourdain | Get up early and go to the local produce markets. In Latin America and Asia, those are usually great places to find delicious food stalls serving cheap, authentic and fresh specialties. | 120 |
| Ban Ki-moon | Climate change, demographics, water, food, energy, global health, women's empowerment - these issues are all intertwined. We cannot look at one strand in isolation. Instead, we must examine how these strands are woven together. | 120 |
| Curtis Jackson | Every day, families in Africa go without food and water, never knowing when their next meal might be; but we can change that if we all work together. In order to make a difference, every purchase of my new energy shot, Street King, will provide a meal for a child in need. | 120 |
| Michael Pollan | Every major food company now has an organic division. There's more capital going into organic agriculture than ever before. | 120 |
| Orlando Bloom | The world produces enough food for everyone. Why are one billion people going hungry? | 120 |
| Rachel McAdams | I'm not an amazing cook. But I can follow a recipe! | 120 |
| Rafael Nadal | Why would I want a place of my own? Then I would have to things worry about, like doing laundry and having food in the fridge. | 120 |
| Erma Bombeck | Once you get a spice in your home, you have it forever. Women never throw out spices. The Egyptians were buried with their spices. I know which one I'm taking with me when I go. | 121 |
| Gloria Steinem | Mama grizzlies mate later than other bears. They have two cubs instead of four. They wait four years - about twice as long as other bears - between having cubs. And after they're pregnant, if winter is hard or their health is not good or the food supply is uncertain, they re-absorb the embryo into their body. | 121 |
| P. T. Barnum | True economy consists in always making the income exceed the out-go. Wear the old clothes a little longer if necessary; dispense with the new pair of gloves; mend the old dress: live on plainer food if need be; so that, under all circumstances, unless some unforeseen accident occurs, there will be a margin in favor of the income. | 121 |
| Jane Goodall | I did this book 'Harvest for Hope,' and I learned so much about food. And one thing I learned is that we have the guts not of a carnivore, but of an herbivore. Herbivore guts are very long because they have to get the last bit of nutrition out of leaves and things. | 121 |
| Anthony Bourdain | The fact that over 50 per cent of the residents of Toronto are not from Canada, that is always a good thing, creatively, and for food especially. That is easily a city's biggest strength, and it is Toronto's unique strength. | 121 |
| Bobby Flay | Nobody believed the 'Food Network' could last. Even I was short sighted and thought to myself, 24 hours of food on TV? They'll run out of things to talk about in four days! But that wasn't true. 'Food Network' continues to get better and evolve. | 121 |
| Elton John | I love places that have an incredible history. I love the Italian way of life. I love the food. I love the people. I love the attitudes of Italians. | 121 |
| Larry David | The lunch in a normal American restaurant is very problematic for me. I don't like to have hot food for lunch. | 121 |
| Ted Nugent | Mankind: A quality of life upgrade is available to each and every one of you. It should give you a quality of life upgrade, which means no drugs, no alcohol, no fast food - unless, of course, it's a mallard. | 121 |
| Yotam Ottolenghi | The combination of lentils with rice or bulgur is the absolute height of Levantine comfort food. I could eat it every day. | 121 |
| Mariska Hargitay | You know how you wake up in the morning and sometimes you look gorgeous and other times you look like you got hit by a mack truck? I realized that my mack truck is food. If I have no sugar, yeast or wine, I have no undereye bags and my skin is perfect. | 121 |
| Suzanne Somers | Artificial sweeteners may trigger cravings for other sweet foods. When your body is not fed nutrients, it asks again and again for more food, triggering heavy-duty cravings for fattening, sugary foods. Artificial sweeteners also mess with your metabolism. | 121 |
| Aesop | A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety. | 122 |
| Julia Child | When I got to France I realized I didn't know very much about food at all. I'd never had a real cake. I'd had those cakes from cake mixes or the ones that have a lot of baking powder in them. A really good French cake doesn't have anything like that in it - it's all egg power. | 122 |
| Elizabeth Gilbert | Listen - of course money changes everything, but so does sunlight, and so does food: These are powerful but neutral energy sources, neither inherently good nor evil but shaped only by the way we use them. | 122 |
| Paul Theroux | Because of my capacity for listening to strangers' tales, or the details of their lives, my patience with their food and their crotchets, my curiosity that borders on nosiness, I am told that anyone traveling with me experiences an unbelievable tedium, and this is why I choose to travel alone. | 122 |
| Queen Latifah | I am not one to turn down macaroni and cheese, even late at night. I love Italian food. I love pasta... A refrigerator full of water and Gatorade? Honey, that's just not gonna happen. | 122 |
| Zooey Deschanel | I love to cook. But I have some food allergies, so I have to contend with those. | 122 |
| Suzanne Somers | Your liver is your vital detoxification organ, and if it becomes overloaded with toxins from the food, drink, or medications you're consuming, you'll have more toxins circulating throughout your body, damaging your organs and glands. Detoxing your liver will help it work more efficiently - and help you slim your waistline. | 122 |
| Anthony Bourdain | As I see it, fast food outfits have targeted small children with their advertising in a very effective way. You know, it's clowns and kid's toys and bright colors and things like that. | 123 |
| Chuck Palahniuk | My father worked for the railroad, and whenever a train crashed, we would go as a family and steal food from the boxcars. One year we stole a case of butterscotch pudding that was for export to Israel. It took us years to get through. | 123 |
| Giada De Laurentiis | Attitudes toward food have completely changed. | 123 |
| Howard Schultz | The growth of the company and the license that Starbucks has is to participate in other food and beverage opportunities. We have a global business... and in many parts of the world, tea is much, much bigger than coffee, and we're going to bring tea and bring our capability and our understanding of what we've done for coffee to tea. | 123 |
| Jon Stewart | I've always liked Atlanta. And not just for the strip clubs, but the shopping and the food. | 123 |
| Muhammad Yunus | What we are trying to do is to create a social business in Bangladesh, a joint venture to create restaurants for common people. Good, healthy food at affordable prices so that people don't have to opt for food that is unhealthy and unhygienic. | 123 |
| Nat King Cole | Primarily I'm a meat man, although once in a while I toy with a few vegetables. | 123 |
| Nhat Hanh | I love to sit and eat quietly and enjoy each bite, aware of the presence of my community, aware of all the hard and loving work that has gone into my food. | 123 |
| Penn Jillette | Bacon is so good by itself that to put it in any other food is an admission of failure. You're basically saying, 'I can't make this other food taste good, so I'll throw in bacon.' | 123 |
| Marilu Henner | I always say centered food equals centered behavior. | 123 |
| Plato | And what, Socrates, is the food of the soul? Surely, I said, knowledge is the food of the soul. | 124 |
| George Bernard Shaw | Statistics show that of those who contract the habit of eating, very few survive. | 124 |
| Robert Mugabe | We are not hungry... Why foist this food upon us? We don't want to be choked. We have enough. | 124 |
| Jonathan Swift | He was a bold man that first ate an oyster. | 124 |
| Robert A. Heinlein | There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick. | 124 |
| Billy Joel | Most people are satisfied with the junk food being sold as music. | 124 |
| Frank A. Clark | Maybe a person's time would be as well spent raising food as raising money to buy food. | 124 |
| Marcus Samuelsson | Children want to mimic adults. They notice when you choose to prepare fresh vegetables over calling in another pizza pie for dinner. They will see that food made with love and care outweighs going through the drive-through window. | 124 |
| Queen Latifah | I like Pirate's Booty. Prunes and olives, too. I love hummus. I can eat that until I die. I tend to eat mostly organic food. | 124 |
| Sitting Bull | If I agree to dispose of any part of our land to the white people I would feel guilty of taking food away from our children's mouths, and I do not wish to be that mean. | 125 |
| Yogi Berra | You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six. | 125 |
| Anthony Bourdain | I'm very proud of the Rome episode of 'No Reservations' because it violated all the conventional wisdom about making television. You're never, ever supposed to do a food or travel show in black and white. | 125 |
| Friedrich Nietzsche | Not necessity, not desire - no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything - health, food, a place to live, entertainment - they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied. | 126 |
| Leo Tolstoy | To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it. | 126 |
| Virat Kohli | I love trying out different cuisines. In Delhi, I love Megu at the Leela, and TK's at the Hyatt. I also enjoy Khan Chacha's rolls. In Mumbai, it's Royal China and Shiro. And in Bangalore, I like the food at Bricklane. | 126 |
| Anthony Bourdain | Anyone who's a chef, who loves food, ultimately knows that all that matters is: 'Is it good? Does it give pleasure?' | 126 |
| Orlando Bloom | If you think of the ice caps as the fridge of our planet, if your fridge at home died, the food you eat would go rotten, and you'd starve. | 126 |
| Simon Cowell | I was 12 years old when I first realized that food could be hot. That's why I turned out the way I am. | 126 |
| Pope Francis | Today, the news is scandals; that is news, but the many children who don't have food - that's not news. This is grave. We can't rest easy while things are this way. | 201 |
| W. C. Fields | Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water. | 201 |
| Percy Bysshe Shelley | Obscenity, which is ever blasphemy against the divine beauty in life, is a monster for which the corruption of society forever brings forth new food, which it devours in secret. | 201 |
| Julia Child | I was 32 when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate. | 201 |
| Robert Louis Stevenson | Wine is bottled poetry. | 201 |
| John Cleese | If God did not intend for us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of meat? | 201 |
| Octavia Butler | A 10-pound sack of potatoes lasts a long time. | 201 |
| Ryan Reynolds | A producer is someone who actually calls the shots. An executive producer is just a guy that eats more food at craft service. | 201 |
| Dolly Parton | My weaknesses have always been food and men - in that order. | 202 |
| David Lynch | A poet could write volumes about diners, because they're so beautiful. They're brightly lit, with chrome and booths and Naugahyde and great waitresses. Now, it might not be so great in the health department, but I think diner food is really worth experiencing periodically. | 202 |
| Fran Lebowitz | Food is an important part of a balanced diet. | 202 |
| James Thurber | The most dangerous food is wedding cake. | 202 |
| Marcus Samuelsson | The opportunity here in the U.S. is so unique because we are so diverse, with so many different cultures living together. Christians, Jews, Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists, all with their own connections to the spiritual aspects of food and with lessons that we can learn from each other. | 202 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | Probably my biggest challenge is not eating all the food that I want to eat sometimes. | 202 |
| Bertrand Russell | I believe in using words, not fists. I believe in my outrage knowing people are living in boxes on the street. I believe in honesty. I believe in a good time. I believe in good food. I believe in sex. | 203 |
| Bernie Mac | You know you poor when you eatin' breakfast food late. You fryin' toast? At nine o'clock at night? With bacon? You're broke. | 203 |
| Bill Watterson | I won't eat any cereal that doesn't turn the milk purple. | 204 |
| Ted Nugent | My idea of fast food is a mallard. | 204 |
| Tyra Banks | I love food and feel that it is something that should be enjoyed. I eat whatever I want. I just don't overeat. | 204 |
| Cyril Connolly | The worst vice of the solitary is the worship of his food. | 204 |
| Leo Tolstoy | A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. | 205 |
| Gene Simmons | Sugar-free ice pops are an invention of God. They hardly have any calories since they're mostly water. I eat about 15 pops every two days. | 205 |
| Julian Baggini | People do care where their food, or other goods, comes from, not merely if the price is right. And that means no business can afford to ignore the impacts their buying practices have on producers and on the perceptions and choices of consumers. | 205 |
| Gisele Bundchen | I have a lot of fruit trees and my own little vegetable garden and chickens. And every time I eat, I bless my food; I say I'm grateful for for it and let it nourish every part of my body. | 206 |
| Marcus Samuelsson | I had a long-lasting love affair with the flavors from Japan and the hustling New York street vendors. And, of course, a life-changing return to Ethiopia has made huge impacts on my life in food. | 206 |
| Ronald Reagan | You can tell alot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans. | 207 |
| Nikola Tesla | There is no doubt that some plant food, such as oatmeal, is more economical than meat, and superior to it in regard to both mechanical and mental performance. Such food, moreover, taxes our digestive organs decidedly less, and, in making us more contented and sociable, produces an amount of good difficult to estimate. | 207 |
| Woody Allen | I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead. Not sick. Not wounded. Dead. | 207 |
| Marina Abramovic | Every party is the same, too many people, too little food, and you have to wait around. I'm extremely bored with parties. | 207 |
| Benjamin Franklin | I saw few die of hunger; of eating, a hundred thousand. | 208 |
| Michelle Obama | The problem is when that fun stuff becomes the habit. And I think that's what's happened in our culture. Fast food has become the everyday meal. | 208 |
| Liam Neeson | I'm Irish, so I'm used to odd stews. I can take it. Just throw a lot of carrots and onions in there and I'll call it dinner. | 208 |
| William J. Clinton | I haven't eaten at a McDonald's since I became President. | 208 |
| Ronald Reagan | It's difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn't available. | 209 |
| Jonathan Swift | Promises and pie-crust are made to be broken. | 209 |
| Hugh Jackman | My gosh, I love food. If I wasn't an actor, I could be a completely different body shape right now. | 209 |
| John Lydon | Move to Italy. I mean it: they know about living in debt; they don't care. I stayed out there for five months while I was making a film called 'Order Of Death,' and they've really got it sussed. Nice cars. Sharp suits. Great food. Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living! | 210 |
| Fran Lebowitz | If you're going to America, bring your own food. | 210 |
| Howard Schultz | We need to reinvent food at Starbucks. Less could be more. | 210 |
| Marcus Samuelsson | Pasta isn't just for Italian food anymore. Now there are tasty pasta recipes found in Asian cuisine, and it's emerging as a newfound love for vegans. | 210 |
| Robert Kiyosaki | Money is kind of a base subject. Like water, food, air and housing, it affects everything yet for some reason the world of academics thinks it's a subject below their social standing. | 210 |
| Yotam Ottolenghi | I always preferred my father's pasta the next day, when he'd put it in a hot oven with heaps of extra cheese. It would emerge slightly burned and very crisp on top. | 210 |
| Jerry Saltz | The secret of food lies in memory - of thinking and then knowing what the taste of cinnamon or steak is. | 210 |
| Thomas Sowell | The biggest and most deadly 'tax' rate on the poor comes from a loss of various welfare state benefits - food stamps, housing subsidies and the like - if their income goes up. | 211 |
| Beth Ditto | Olympia was a town crawling with music. I was new to the whole punk scene. The culture shock continued; Olympia had bagels! We didn't have bagels in Arkansas. You could order vegetarian food all over town! It was so crazy to me - a place with so many vegetarians, the restaurants made special dishes for them? | 211 |
| David Suzuki | People don't even understand that every bit of our food was once alive. We take another creature, plant, animal, microorganism, tear it apart in our mouths. And incorporate those molecules into our own bodies. We are the Earth in the most profound way. | 211 |
| Jennifer Lopez | I like to cook Puerto Rican food. That's what I grew up on: rice, beans, meat, some Italian-American food. I know my way around the kitchen. | 211 |
| E. M. Forster | The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death. | 212 |
| Leonardo da Vinci | Man and animals are in reality vehicles and conduits of food, tombs of animals, hostels of Death, coverings that consume, deriving life by the death of others. | 213 |
| Johnny Depp | The term 'serious actor' is kind of an oxymoron, isn't it? Like 'Republican party' or 'airplane food.' | 213 |
| Anthony Bourdain | One of the things is challenging yourself to do a Rome show when everybody's done a Rome show. To find some aspect of food culture or chef culture that people can look at in a new way. | 214 |
| Carrie Underwood | I'm girlie in the sense that I like makeup, but I also love sports and man food. | 214 |
| Marcus Samuelsson | Taking dishes straight off the restaurant's menu and putting them into a cookbook doesn't work, because as a chef you have your own vision of what your food is, but you can't always explain it. Or you can't pick recipes that best illustrate who and where you are and what you're doing. And if the recipes don't work, you don't have a book. | 214 |
| Dolly Parton | If you like good ol' fashion Southern soul food then, yes, I am a good cook! My specialty is chicken dumplings and poke salad. | 215 |
| Robin Williams | Okra is the closest thing to nylon I've ever eaten. It's like they bred cotton with a green bean. Okra, tastes like snot. The more you cook it, the more it turns into string. | 215 |
| Demetri Martin | I like to use 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter' on my toast in the morning, because sometimes when I eat breakfast, I like to be incredulous. How was breakfast? Unbelievable. | 215 |
| Anthony Bourdain | I hated the Naked Chef. Fine, yes, he did good things for school food or whatever, but, you know, I don't want my chefs to be cute and adorable. | 215 |
| Marcus Samuelsson | Most cultures traditionally link food and spirituality directly with periodic restrictions and celebrations punctuating the year. Abstinence from particular foods or full-on fasting is part of many religious traditions and holidays. | 215 |
| Michael Moore | I've read stories of slave owners who were very generous. They didn't keep them in shackles, they didn't whip the slaves, they built schools and churches for them, free housing, free food, free everything. It's wrong. No matter how nice you make it look, it's wrong. | 215 |
| Steve Carell | From cheesecake on a stick to meat skewers to deep-fried bananas on a stick - there are no plates anymore. In Los Angeles, everything has become a corn dog. Actually, corn dogs still work. But most other food should be stickless. | 215 |
| Samuel Johnson | No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned... a man in a jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company. | 216 |
| David Suzuki | Over and over, the economy has determined the extent of our response, but how much value does it place on breathable air, drinkable water, edible food and stable weather and climate? Surely the economy is the means to a better future, not an end in itself. Surely it must be subordinate to a rich, diverse ecosphere that sustains all life. | 216 |
| Jennifer Aniston | My best hostess tip is to have good food and really good music! | 217 |
| Joseph B. Wirthlin | Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one's voice. | 217 |
