- “Falling in love with humans is like walking into a pantry and realizing you’re trapped in it without Whip Cream, and Cherries.” ― AainaA-Ridtz A R
- “It starts off like climbing a tree or solving a puzzle – poetry, if nothing else, is just fun to write. But deeper into each and every piece, you no longer hesitate to call it work. It’s passion. A poet’s sense of lyrical accomplishment is then his food and water, his means of survival.” ― Criss Jami, Killosophy
- “Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what’s for lunch.” ― Orson Welles

- “You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
- “prepare your food in keeping with monastic traditions—simple, basic, healthy, balanced.” ― Mary DeTurris Poust, Cravings: A Catholic Wrestles with Food, Self-Image, and God
- “It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it… and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied… and it is all one.” ― M.F.K. Fisher, The Art of Eating
- “Und was hilft es dem Veganer, wenn er dem Kalb seine Milch lässt, aber dazu beiträgt, dass sein auf Palmöl basierender Brotaufstrich den Lebensraum von Orang-Utans und Tigern zerstört? Was hilft es dem Vegetarier, wenn er das Huhn vor der Schlachtung bewahrt, der Transport seiner Cashewkerne, Avocados und Kososnussmilch aber Erdölkatastrophen fördert, die ganze Vogelschwärme töten?” ― Olga Witt, Ein Leben ohne Müll: Mein Weg mit Zero Waste
- “It is difficult to ascertain what role these articles play in marginalizing the vegetarian experience when there are so many more pressing issues that confront individuals who might otherwise choose to try to become vegetarian or vegan, such as the lack of healthy affordable food in low-income neighborhoods, often largely inhabited by people of color, and a government that subsidizes and promotes animal and sugar-heavy diets over ones with vegetables and fruits. yet rather than focus on these series structural barriers, many articles on vegetarianism and veganism often present the challenge of avoiding meat and animal products as challenge to one’s very own normalcy and acceptability.” ― Sunaura Taylor, Beasts of Burden: Animal and Disability Liberation
- “It can be challenge enough to have to eat with myself.” ― Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals
- “If you seek for supreme predator, go find God. He hunts the prime killer of mankind, the Satan.” ― Toba Beta, My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut
- “Fed by plants, fed up with the world” ― Evan Baldonado

- “All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” ― Charles M. Schulz
- “Fast is the food of faith.” ― Lailah Gifty Akita
- “I do not particularly like the word ‘work.’ Human beings are the only animals who have to work, and I think that is the most ridiculous thing in the world. Other animals make their livings by living, but people work like crazy, thinking that they have to in order to stay alive. The bigger the job, the greater the challenge, the more wonderful they think it is. It would be good to give up that way of thinking and live an easy, comfortable life with plenty of free time. I think that the way animals live in the tropics, stepping outside in the morning and evening to see if there is something to eat, and taking a long nap in the afternoon, must be a wonderful life. For human beings, a life of such simplicity would be possible if one worked to produce directly his daily necessities. In such a life, work is not work as people generally think of it, but simply doing what needs to be done.” ― Masanobu Fukuoka, The One-Straw Revolution
- “Ethically, she couldn’t cause the suffering of any living thing. Logically, bacon cheeseburgers were delicious.” ― Thomm Quackenbush, We Shadows

- “What would you have? Your gentleness shall force More than your force move us to gentleness.” ― William Shakespeare, As You Like It
- “Before researchers become researchers they should become philosophers. They should consider what the human goal is, what it is that humanity should create.Doctors should first determine at the fundamental level what it is that human beings depend on for life…Modern scientific agriculture, on the other hand, has no such vision. Research wanders about aimlessly, each researcher seeing just one part of the infinite array of natural factors which affect harvest yields.Even though it is the same quarter acre, the farmer must grow his crops differently each year in accordance with variations in weather, insect populations, the condition of the soil, and many other natural factors. Nature is everywhere in perpetual motion; conditions are never exactly the same in any two years.Modern research divides nature into tiny pieces and conducts tests that conform neither with natural law nor with practical experiences. The results are arranged for the convenience of research, not according to the needs of the farmer.” ― Masanobu Fukuoka, The One-Straw Revolution
- “Modern life conceals our need for diverse, wild, natural communities, but it does not alter that need.. if you want to feel what it is like to be human again, you should hunt, even if just once. Because that understanding, I believe, will propel a shift in how we view and interact with this world that we eat in. And the kind of food we demand, as omnivores, will never be the same.” ― Georgia Pellegrini, Girl Hunter: Revolutionizing the Way We Eat, One Hunt at a Time
- “The single greatest lesson the garden teaches is that our relationship to the planet need not be zero-sum, and that as long as the sun still shines and people still can plan and plant, think and do, we can, if we bother to try, find ways to provide for ourselves without diminishing the world. ” ― Michael Pollan, The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
- “The tongue enjoys tasting food.” ― Lailah Gifty Akita
- “The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death.” ― E. M. Forster
- “Now through her aching, Helen felt a flicker of peace as though Mum was there, placing a hand on Helen’s shoulder and saying, “Come now. The world is always a brighter place on a full stomach. Help me—it will go faster that way.” In the stillness of the kitchen they used to work, Helen’s light hair and Mum’s dark bent over the bowl. Mum would not prod or fill the silence with chatter, but used the recipe to call Helen back to herself. She would pop a currant into her daughter’s mouth, or gently instruct her to smell the cinnamon, and for Helen, the world would come into focus.” ― Corinne Beenfield
- “Eliminate the concept of division by class, skills, race, income, and nationality. We are all equals with a common pulse to survive. Every human requires food and water. Every human has a dream and desire to be happy. Every human responds to love, suffering and pain. Every human bleeds the same color and occupies the same world. Let us recognize that we are all part of each other. We are all human. We are all one.” ― Suzy Kassem
- “I am not a glutton – I am an explorer of food” ― Erma Bombeck
- “Jehovah-Jireh is a Great provider. Even in times of famine, we have enough to eat.” ― Lailah Gifty Akita, Pearls of Wisdom: Great mind
- “The first time you see something that you have never seen before, you almost always know right away if you should eat it or run away from it.” ― Scott Adams
- “The joy from eating does not come from the exclusivity of the food, but instead from the sensitivity that we eat it with.” ― Nino Gruettke, BOTH of You: Behavior. Opinion. Thinking. Happiness – The more rational we are, the more emotional we can be.
