People who have come to appreciate well-sourced and well-cooked food refuse to pay too much for food that they wouldn't want to pay anything for.

If some consumers believe that it's better from the point of view of their health to have organic food, God bless them. Let them buy it. Let them pay a bit more.

Usually, cheap food is not nutritious. You're feeding people, but you're not really feeding people something that is good for them.

One of the effects of cheap food is, we have food that is so unsatisfactory. We need to go back to flavor.

To me, you make a tradeoff. It might be a little bit more expensive. But you're getting a better tasting, higher quality food that's going to be better for your health and better for the environment.

People do care where their food, or other goods, comes from, not merely if the price is right. And that means no business can afford to ignore the impacts their buying practices have on producers and on the perceptions and choices of consumers.

In countries around the world, people spend more money on food because they know how precious it is.

Consumers deserve the right to know what's in their food - and obviously, most people want that choice. It's hard to see how more knowledge about the products we eat every day can hurt us.

I have heard people eat most heartily of another man's meat, that is, what they do not pay for.

Studies have found that preparing your own food is usually healthier and less expensive than buying fast food. But most people just don't have the time.
