A lot of what you see in the supermarket I would argue is not really food. It's what I call edible, food-like substances.

I remember going to university, and the people who'd left home for the first time looked at the food and were horrified. Whereas, my view was that if it was vaguely edible, then it's fine.

I try and eat really healthy when I'm home, but I certainly don't eat worms and snakes.

I was brought up to think a lot about food and have respect for it, both as medicine and something to eat and enjoy.

I like animals, I really do, but some animals are just meant to be eaten.

I was one of those kids who found it difficult to eat anything that looked like an animal.

My daughter is a very adventurous eater. I'm not the guy who sits around lamenting that all my kid will eat it is Tater Tots and chicken nuggets. With my kid, it's more a capricious and whimsical decision-making.

Food is for eating, and good food is to be enjoyed... I think food is, actually, very beautiful in itself.

Food isn't like anything else. It's something precious. It's not a commodity.

Edible substances evoke the secretion of thick, concentrated saliva. Why? The answer, obviously, is that this enables the mass of food to pass smoothly through the tube leading from the mouth into the stomach.
