Isn’t it curious how in so many of our pastimes and hobbies we play at supplying one or another of our fundamentally creauturely needs—for food, shelter, even clothing?

I have enough hobbies to keep me busy. It's possible that I will look for a new sport -- like, perhaps, horse riding.

You can make real food in 20, 30 minutes, but we've convinced ourselves that it is a rocket science. It's a shame. It's the media and the food industry: they've fed our panic around time.

Even if you don't think you can cook well, you can cook better than the food industry.

Perhaps more than any other, the food industry is very sensitive to consumer demand.

I probably spend more on food than a lot of people, and I feel good about the whole food chain I'm supporting when I'm doing it. But even I have to remind myself. I'm always complaining about the prices at the farmer's market.
