Food is not your remedy for problems. Food is not going to change your life. If you are lonely, food is not going to be your company. If you are sad, food is not going to give you solace.

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 is a coping mechanism; people are afraid of giving it up because then they'll feel confused and lost.

Unlike curing cancer or heart disease, we already know how to beat hunger: food.

Food is so important - it sustains us, it provides a social focal point, and it is fun. I cannot unravel the difference between love in my family and the preparation of food because they are so closely woven.

It's hard to come into a new relationship with food unless you're engaged in an interactive way at an early age; it's hard to change your values.

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

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

I think for me, food was a way for me to deal with emotional trouble.
