It's not good enough to give it tender, loving care, to supply it with breakfast foods, to buy it expensive educations. Those things don't mean anything unless this generation has a future. And we're not sure that it does.

We take food for granted, but it isn't a luxury for many people.
We eat every day, and if we do it in a way that doesn't recognize value, it's contributing to the destruction of our culture and of agriculture. But if it's done with a focus and care, it can be a wonderful thing. It changes the quality of your life.
It's the 21st century. It's healthier for us, better for the environment and certainly kinder to be a vegetarian.
Fortunately for India, it has got a growing economy. If it is doing the right things with taxation and focusing on the right areas for human development, it is going to have no problem, over a period of time, taking care of its own needs.
It is important what you eat now, what you do now. If we were interested in a sustainable planet where other generations have a right to a decent future, we would not live like this.
If it's great stuff, the people who consume it are nourished. It's a positive force.
A lot of local food is very tasty. I'm very happy to eat it. I just don't think it's the same thing as saving the world.
A safe, affordable and plentiful supply of food is a national security issue.
Their life is about getting enough money to put food on the table to feed their children, and that's it.
It should be that every child, when they leave school, can do ten meals, because when they leave home, they've got to be able to eat healthily. Blow the science of it and everything else. They've just got to be able to know what's good for them, how to buy it, and how to make a few dishes that they enjoy and don't cost too much.
