An adult human can last 40 days without food, a week without any sleep, three days without water, but only five minutes without air. Yet nothing is more taken for granted than the air we breathe.

— Hugh Ross
Ironically, when I was in Dubai with the BBC 'Good Food Show,' even though it's an urban area, when you see the vast panorama from the top of the Burj Khalifa, it feels remote, as if it's just sprung up out of the desert. I like Dubai. I didn't think I would, but the food and the people were great.

— P. T. Barnum

— Nathan Myhrvold

— John Paul DeJoria
I live a healthy lifestyle and I crave healthy food. I love porridge - I have bizarre cravings for it.

I think everything in moderation is the key.
— Jessica Lowndes
The traditional family table is round. No corners. No sides. No head. No tail. Everything is smooth. The food is in the center, and each family member reaches over the same distance.

— Deng Ming-Dao

— Nikos Kazantzakis

— Steve Albini
When I got to France I realized I didn't know very much about food at all. I'd never had a real cake. I'd had those cakes from cake mixes or the ones that have a lot of baking powder in them. A really good French cake doesn't have anything like that in it - it's all egg power.

— Victoria Pendleton
Species co-evolve with the other species they eat, and very often, a relationship of interdependence develops: I'll feed you if you spread around my genes. A gradual process of mutual adaptation transforms something like an apple or a squash into a nutritious and tasty food for a hungry animal.

Mankind: A quality of life upgrade is available to each and every one of you. It should give you a quality of life upgrade, which means no drugs, no alcohol, no fast food - unless, of course, it's a mallard.

— John Boozman
Doing things like playing music, something that's so natural and basic to human function, running around in nature, eating delicious food. These things are intrinsic in basic, primordial to human beings, so that's sort of a way to return to a blank canvas, allowing my true personality to return.
— Ezra Miller
I'm a little self-conscious about my body. I love to wear hoodies because you can get cozy and eat some food and your belly doesn't show!
— Jared Padalecki

As a diabetic, I'm a walking picnic. I have to eat measured amounts of food at certain times.

— Ron Finley
Jiro Ono serves Edo-style traditional sushi, the same 20 or 30 pieces he's been making his whole life, and he's still unsatisfied with the quality and every day wakes up and trains to make the best. And that is as close to a religious experience in food as one is likely to get.
— Anthony Bourdain
Yoga is the most boring exercise. It's for people who are too lazy to get on the elliptical. Bikram, where they heat up the room to mimic India's climate, is especially stupid. People in India are not skinny because they're doing yoga in 105-degree rooms; they're skinny because there's no food.
— Noureen DeWulf
I love the food, the girls, the sky and everything that is Delhi. I have very fond memories of the Moolchand flyover.

— Alice Waters

— Noam Chomsky

Barbecue is the good old technique of people making a fire and putting some stuff over the top - I mean, look at the S'more: it's just got a stick. A lot of those goofy toys, it's people who are looking at things to do. I think if you focus on the food, at the most you need tongs or a spoon to flip something; that's about it.

— Lawrence Kudlow
I was one of the first six black kids to integrate a formerly all-white school. I remember being looked at all the time and people laughing at my hair. I was also very self-conscious about the food I had for lunch. I had egg sandwiches, and the other mothers gave kids fancy stuff like bologna and Marmite. It took about a year to settle in.
— Petina Gappah
I'm into the food in Vegas. I'm willing to go to nice restaurants for sushi and stuff like that.
— Britney Spears
I know how I like my food. I like it spicy, salty, sticky, crunchy, juicy, oozy - basically any dish you know and love, jacked up to a bordering-on-socially-unacceptable amount of flavor.
— Chrissy Teigen
I can be a romantic. The way to every woman's heart is through her stomach. Food is at the core of everything.
— Paul Hollywood
I do like going out and finding free food. I've done it since I was a child. Fishing prawns and shrimps from the sea is wonderful, as is picking blackberries, sloes and mushrooms. Having a guide while out looking for mushrooms is really important, though, as picking the wrong type can be quite dangerous.
— Mary Berry

When fast food is not a treat but a dietary staple, the children surf the internet all day in dark corners of the room and are bombarded with latest gadgets. Things replace parental standards.
— Diane Abbott
I love food, all types of food. I love Korean food, Japanese, Italian, French. In Australia, we don't have a distinctive Australian food, so we have food from everywhere all around the world. We're very multicultural, so we grew up with lots of different types of food.
— Hugh Jackman
I love chicken fingers, I love French fries. I love desserts. I'm not just into dessert or just into savoury food. I love it all. I'm a pig. I love food. So it takes a lot of discipline to eat healthy.
— Holly Madison
As a matter of fact, most cases of food poisoning are never linked back to their source.

I think about food literally all day every day. It's a thing.

I want to spend my life with someone and do nice things and go on adventures, read books and have nice food and celebrate things. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in the bedroom like some people who just go to bed and never get out again.
— Tracey Emin
According to my mother, there pretty much wasn't anything I wouldn't eat as a child. Not just try, but eat. I was even inclined to dig into stuff about which she expressed open disgust - lobster and other shellfish, and cheap Chinese food with pepper so hot it made your gums feel like a medieval dentist had been at them.
— Alice Dreger
Great wine is always enhanced by great food.

— Jennifer Love Hewitt
Food is your body's fuel. Without fuel, your body wants to shut down.
— Ken Hill
As I see it, a green salad is an open invitation to carrots, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and the sprouts that grow in jars on my kitchen counter.
— Victoria Moran

He looked about as inconspicuous as a tarantula on a slice of angel food.
— Raymond Chandler
I was eating bad stuff. Lots of sugar and carbs, junk food all the time. It makes you very irritated.
— Avril Lavigne
My sisters like cooking at my place. It has a bit more room, and the food tastes a little bit better. A big pot of spaghetti and sauce, some warm French bread - works all the time. I think I've been eating pasta for 26 years.
— Tom Brady
I love good food but I follow strict rules the days I perform.
— Jose Carreras

— Treat Williams
Food safety involves everybody in the food chain.
— Mike Johanns

— Alton Brown

— Robert Mondavi
We can no more do without spirituality than we can do without food, shelter, or clothing.

In corn, I think I've found the key to the American food chain. If you look at a fast-food meal, a McDonald's meal, virtually all the carbon in it - and what we eat is mostly carbon - comes from corn.
— Michael Pollan
My work has also motivated me to put a lot of time into seeking out good food and to spend more money on it.
— Michael Pollan
In addition to contributing to erosion, pollution, food poisoning, and the dead zone, corn requires huge amounts of fossil fuel - it takes a half gallon of fossil fuel to produce a bushel of corn.
— Michael Pollan
I'd like to be rich. I'd like a lot of money to put into my physicals and to buy food for all my friends.
— Syd Barrett
Contaminated food is a major cause of diarrhea, substantially contributing to malnutrition and killing about 2.2 million people each year, most of them children.
— Gro Harlem Brundtland
Italy in the first years got food, for the first year or the first periods got food. Then we got raw materials and then we got tool machines, let's say, instruments for working.
— Gianni Agnelli
The two things that could have been better is number one, to get major military force into the community almost immediately to make sure that there was law and order. Number two, we had enough helicopters to airlift food into the centers of population and those places.
— Warren Rudman
If a State has reliable scientific information that demonstrates that a warning is needed for a particular food, then in the interest of public health, it should share that information with the FDA and petition for a new national standard.
— Nathan Deal

— Helen Rowland
I recycle. I have a house in the south of France and I have a small garden. My name is Dujardin - 'from the garden.' I grow carrots, peppers, strawberries, green beans, and things for salads, but there are lots of wild boars all around and they steal the food.
— Jean Dujardin
Most schools have only a microwave or deep fryer, hardly the tools needed to feed our children real, fresh food.

When it becomes a revolutionary act to eat real food, we are in trouble.
— Mark Hyman
Long as I was riding in a big Cadillac and dressed nice and had plenty of food, that's all I cared about.
— Etta James
My husband cooks fancier food for himself than I've ever cooked on-air. I call him from the road, and he's making champagne-vanilla salmon or black-cherry pork chop. Half of me is feeling unworthy. Not only am I not a chef, I'm not a better cook than my own husband!
— Rachael Ray
When I do a 30-minute meal, for instance, on Food Network, that's my food you see at the end of the show and it's not perfect. And if sometimes things break or drop or the pasta hits the wall when I'm draining it, they never stop tape. They just kind of let me go with it.
— Rachael Ray
The thing about all my food is that everything is a remembered flavor. Maybe it's something I had as a child or maybe it's something I had in Milan, but I want it to taste better than you ever thought.
— Ina Garten
You don't want flame to hit your food. Flame is bad. Flame does nasty things to food. It makes soot and it makes deposits of various chemicals that are not too good for us. The last thing you really want to see licking at your food while it's on a grill is an actual flame.
— Alton Brown
Most food you drop is still perfectly edible. If it was in your eyesight the whole time, you can pick it up and eat it.
— Mehmet Oz
Mexican food is far more varied than people think. It changes like dialects. I was brought up in Jalisco by the sea on a basic diet - tomatoes, chillis, peppers of every size and rice, which is a Mexican staple. The Pacific coast has a huge array of seafood.
— Gael Garcia Bernal
I love spicy food.
— Cynthia Nixon
Indian food has been huge in the UK forever and ever, but that's because it has a historical rooting. America, I think is really ripe for it. There's been so much interest in Indian culture.
— Aarti Sequeira
Latin food suffers like Chinese. You can do marginal Chinese and be successful. You can do crappy Mexican and be packed.
— Aaron Sanchez
It is great to add some glamour to the food industry, like television shows have done for the food world and inspiring people to work in the industry. The flip side of that is unfortunately people think that after they get their qualifications, they get their invitation to compete on 'Top Chef.'
— Curtis Stone
My goal in 'Live to Cook' is to make great food more approachable for home cooks.
— Michael Symon
When two kids are being completely berserk, and they're naked and throwing food around, sometimes I just let it go because I can see a future where they're going to be dressed, and they're going to be at school. So I kind of let stuff go sometimes.
— Louis C. K.
Urban conservationists may feel entitled to be unconcerned about food production because they are not farmers. But they can't be let off so easily, for they are all farming by proxy.
— Wendell Berry
Canadians are very well behaved, they don't throw their food.
— Calvin Trillin
If the first requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite, the second is to put in your apprenticeship as a feeder when you have enough money to pay the check but not enough to produce indifference of the total.
— A. J. Liebling
Everyone would be healthier if they didn't eat junk food.
— Robert Atkins
You think about some of the most memorable meals you've ever had; the food will be good but it will often be about locating a mental memory and taste is inexorably linked to all the other senses and memory, so ultimately it is all about taste.
— Heston Blumenthal
Money spent on carbon cuts is money we can't use for effective investments in food aid, micronutrients, HIV/AIDS prevention, health and education infrastructure, and clean water and sanitation.
— Bjorn Lomborg

— St. Vincent
I only like food without color, like potatoes, bread, and pasta.
— Emma Roberts
The air that people breathe in many Chinese cities has become dangerously polluted. Their food supply is subject to constant contamination scandals. Now it appears that not merely stagnant ponds but the water people draw from deep underground is already tainted.
— James Fallows
What's my favourite food? One you order out.
— Abigail Breslin
I like a quiet evening with family or friends over, great food and great discussion and a lot of laughter. That's really what I think fills my tank.
— Anna Eshoo
Steakhouses sort of have this old-school nature to them they're like museums full of good food. It's fun hearing the waiter share his expertise on the different cuts of beef and how they're going to cut up your baked potato.
— Jim Gaffigan
Life is a perspective and for me, if a human being has access to school, clean water, food, proper health care, that is the basis of human rights.
— Gelila Bekele
All the food that is put into the stomach that the system cannot derive benefit from, is a burden to nature in her work.
— Ellen G. White
I will say that the food in both Japan and Italy was immaculate. I don't remember having bad food in either country.
— Daniel Gillies
I love good food and I love to eat in nice restaurants. I love Japanese food. I love Gordon Ramsay in London he is pretty amazing.
— Isla Fisher
All of us want to live, and that is absolutely natural. However, we should learn from childhood on to choose our best way to die. If we don't do that, we end up spending our days like a dog, only in search of harbour, food and expressing a blind loyalty to his owner in return. That isn't enough to make our lives have a meaning.
— Yamamoto Tsunetomo
There's no denying that candy is comfort food and it's affordable.

— Tyler Posey
The food I've liked in my time is American country cookin'.
— Colonel Sanders
Chefs think about what it's like to make food. Being a scientist in the kitchen is about asking why something works, and how it works.
— Nathan Myhrvold
Being a consultant is like flying first-class. The food is terrific, the drinks are cold. But all you can do is walk up to the pilot and say, 'bank left.' If you're in management, you have the controls.
— Greg Brenneman
I am terrible at making food. I love eating, but I can't make anything.
— Nicola Formichetti
I love spicy food, love it. But wasabi is just painful.

Modern agriculture has been accurately described as a way of turning oil into food. As the price of oil continues to rise, so will the price of food.
— Jeremy Grantham
Variety is what I would recommend: As variety is the spice of life in food, so it is in exercise. Change it up. But most of all, don't overdo it.
— Martina Navratilova
