“The average person is still under the aberrant delusion that food should be somebody else's responsibility until I'm ready to eat it.”

“We still (sometimes) remember that we cannot be free if our minds and voices are controlled by someone else. But we have neglected to understand that we cannot be free if our food and its sources are controlled by someone else. The condition of the passive consumer of food is not a democratic condition. One reason to eat responsibly is to live free. (pg. 323, The Pleasures of Eating)”

“When God knows you're ready for the responsibility of commitment, He'll reveal the right person under the right circumstances.”

“Somebody dies and people eat your food. Funny how that works.”

“The mythology of freedom under capitalism for the average person is a con job.”

“I'm never overwhelmed or under it either; just nicely whelmed. I'm OK. Nothing spectacular but sometimes special. I look in the mirror and see this medium average person. A little tired, a little sad, but not falling apart.”
