“Each food items in a typical U.S. meal has traveled an average of 1,500 miles....If every U.S. citizen ate just one meal a week (any meal) composed of locally and organically raised meats and produce we would reduce our country's oil consumption by over 1.1 million barrels of oil every week.”

“I've nursed a lifelong love affair with movement, straying ever farther from those I love most. But somewhere along the way, it dawned on me that I was always traveling with family - because the act of travel, to the extent that it separates us from our relatives, also extends, manifests, multiplies, and completes family.”

“If you want a great vacation, go to an all-inclusive resort"If you want a great travel adventure, go anywhere else”

“So your junk food has a shelf life of twenty-two years and will probably outlive your fat, sorry ass.”

“You don't need to travel, laughter is an instant vacation”
