Almost every time we get together with family or friends, the conversation ends up being about food.

To address our current food system problems, I propose a series of local, regional, national and global conversations - starting around the dinner table - to rethink the food we produce, buy and eat.

I like to talk about food, ingredients, and how to adapt recipes. It's a dialogue.

Food is the new Internet.

I find that people in the food world are amazingly willing to talk about what they are doing, even when those things are quasi-legal or taboo.

I used to hang out by the food table at parties because you don't have to talk to anybody. If you do then you can talk about the food.

Food trends have been around as long as people have had the ability to choose between different things to eat, but the modern, interconnected media has made food trends a viral phenomenon. Once upon a time, it was just a few newspapers and a few select gourmet magazines that were writing about food. Today, it's every single publication.

Food as a hobby used to be an elite pastime, and it has become something that is totally ordinary for people of every background. In that way, we see the growing up of the American food scene: that it's okay to be a regular person and be really into food.

We want our communities to know what real food is.
