We are already producing enough food to feed the world. We already have technology in place that allows us to produce more than we can find a market for.

We need the humbleness and clarity to see that our food, while benefitting from technological advances, has benefitted even more from free ecological resources: Cheap energy, lots of water everywhere, and a stable climate.

If venereal delight and the power of propagating the species were permitted only to the virtuous, it would make the world very good.

Without food, we cannot survive, and that is why issues that affect the food industry are so important.

I think someday, out in space, perhaps, some people might be able to grow some of their own food or hopefully on another planet.

I will make the argument that we are poorly adapted to our current environment. I mean, we did not evolve to sit all day and be exposed to giant amounts of really tasty food.

If we went back to the basics of vegetables, legumes, grains - the things closer to the Earth - it's a lot better for the Earth and for other people. We can feed more people, we can feed the starving people.

When it comes to literal nourishment, the food we eat, life begets life.

We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.
