“The desire to consume is a kind of lust...We long to have the world flow through us like air or food..”

“When we allow the walls around our hearts to become rigid, and stay that way, we assign ourselves a slow death. Like the very air and water that flows through our physical body to sustain it, love must flow through our heart to keep it supple, and to keep us truly alive.”

“How we prepare our food, how we consume our food really makes a difference in how our food satisfies us and shapes the role we give food in our lives. Is it something we stuff in to satisfy an urge or something we savor to feed us physically and sustain us spiritually?”

“The truth is: the natural world is changing. And we are totally dependent on that world. It provides our food, water and air. It is the most precious thing we have and we need to defend it.”

“We know what we are, that we walk like we are not long for this world, that this world has never longed for us.”

“We are born into this world with a life-long hunger for food... We are born into this world with a life-long hunger for love...”
