“Look at the world of food not in terms of what you can’t eat, but what you CAN EAT!”

“I create recipes that are not just "good for gluten-free" but just plain GOOD, period!”

“This is considered almost holy work by farmers and ranchers. Kill off everything you can't eat. Kill off anything that eats what you eat. Kill off anything that doesn't feed what you eat.""It IS holy work, in Taker culture. The more competitors you destroy, the more humans you can bring into the world, and that makes it just about the holiest work there is. Once you exempt yourself from the law of limited competition, everything in the world except your food and the food of your food becomes an enemy to be exterminated.”

“While self-interest arising from the enjoyment of meat eating is obviously one reason for its entrenchment, and inertia another, a process of language usage engulfs discussions about meat by constructing the discourse in such a way that these issues need never be addressed.

Meat becomes a symbol for what is not seen but is always there--patriarchal control of animals and of language.”

“If you don't look for Trouble, how can you know it's there?”
