  1. Laurie Halse Anderson _ Wintergirls

    Eating was hard.Breathing was hard. Living was hardest.

  2. Andrew Solomon _ The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of

    Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because it's good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason."

  3. Michael Pollan _ Cooked: A Natural History of

    Cooking gave us not just the meal but also the occasion: the practice of eating together at an appointed time and place. This was something new under the sun, for the forager of raw food would have likely fed himself on the go and alone, like all the other animals. {Or, come to think of it, like the industrial eaters we've more recently become, grazing at gas stations and eating by ourselves whenever and wherever.} But sitting down to common meals, making eye contact, sharing food, and exercising self-restraint all served to civilize us.

  4. Michael Pollan _ The Omnivore's Dilemma: A

    It's all very Italian {and decidedly un-American}: to insist that doing the right thing is the most pleasurable thing, and that the act of consumption might be an act of addition rather than subtraction.

  5. Michael Pollan _ The Omnivore's Dilemma: A

    The single greatest lesson the garden teaches is that our relationship to the planet need not be zero-sum, and that as long as the sun still shines and people still can plan and plant, think and do, we can, if we bother to try, find ways to provide for ourselves without diminishing the world.

  6. Michael Pollan _ In Defense of Food: An Eater's

    Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

  7. Anthony Bourdain _ Kitchen Confidential:

    Good food and good eating are about risk. Every once in a while an oyster, for instance, will make you sick to your stomach. Does this mean you should stop eating oysters? No way.

  8. Anthony Bourdain _ Kitchen Confidential:

    I've long believed that good food, good eating, is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure

  9. Don DeLillo _ White Noise

    When times are bad, people feel compelled to overeat.

  10. Rebecca McNutt _ Smog City

    Kipster is a perfectly valid word," Wendy argued, about to write down her score on the little notepad that had come with the game. "Okay, so what does it mean?" Mandy wanted to know. Wendy struggled to come up with an answer, and finally just changed the subject with school gossip. Mandy found herself just ignoring it… it always sounded the same, the same events, same rumors, same secrets, same affairs, but never anything of interest to her. "Well Sarah's on drugs again and that's why she did it in Mario's backseat, but now she might be pregnant, oh, and that messed-up Seth kid's been cutting himself again so he was sent away to Halifax last week, and there's a festival in Wolfville but Kathy won't go because Audrey-Rose is going to be there and they hate each other, and…." Mandy had learned two years ago to detach herself from gossip; she'd learned it from Jud's death. Wendy may have been eighteen years old but she could be immature on the best of days.

    We must have a pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie."

  12. Jonathan Safran Foer _ Eating Animals

    We need a better way to talk about eating animals. We need a way that brings meat to the center of public discussion in the same way it is often at the center of our plates. This doesn't require that we pretend we are going to have a collective agreement. However strong our intuitions are about what's right for us personally and even about what's right for others, we all know in advance that our positions will clash with those of our neighbors. What do we do with that most inevitable reality? Drop the conversation, or find a way to reframe it?
