Michael Pollan Quotes About Choices

Quotes about: Choices

We are becoming a nation of orthorexics: people with an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating.

• Once you introduce the issue to young people and suggest to them that they have the ability to vote with their forks, either by positively going for certain kinds of foods or rejecting other kinds of foods, they realize that this is a responsibility and an opportunity to shape the world a little bit by their own choices.
