Food is ever-changing and ever moving forward and getting more and more complex.

Your relationship to food is but a reflection of your relationship to yourself, as is everything in your life.

You have to be a mindful eater. There has to be intention in what you do in your life if you're going to be happy and authentic. Food isn't supposed to be entertainment in the way that your kids, your work, and your relationship are.

It took a lot of time to develop a healthier relationship with food and with my weight.

We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture.

Almost every time we get together with family or friends, the conversation ends up being about food.

I don't think it ever works to tell people what they can't eat. They can do it for so long, and then they fall off. You have to bring them into a new relationship with food.

Food can be very transformational, and it can be more than just about a dish. That's what happened to me when I first went to France. I fell in love. And if you fall in love, well, then everything is easy.

I do think there's some value to really throwing yourself into food and embracing where it comes from.

As I've gotten older, I've had to change my food intake.
