Feeding is a very important ritual for me. I don't trust people who don't like to eat.

Food is a very sensitive subject for so many people.

I have a lot of fruit trees and my own little vegetable garden and chickens. And every time I eat, I bless my food; I say I'm grateful for for it and let it nourish every part of my body.

Many people see the chance to eat something for nothing, without the need to cook or wash up, as the great consolation of going out to dinner. But they forget quite how difficult it is to talk to a stranger and eat at the same time.

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.

I am not a foodie, thank goodness. I will eat pretty much anything. A lot of my friends are getting incredibly fussy about food and I see it as a bit of an affliction.

What people need to know is that if you don't eat what you want, then you'll just continue to eat, because you're not fulfilled.

People think that if you have a huge appetite, then you'll be better at it. But actually, it's how you confront the food that is brought to you. You have to be mentally and psychologically prepared.

Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly.

Many people submit to excessive appetites without realizing that they do not need to eat so much food.
