You look how much sugar is in a typical supermarket loaf of bread: it's a lot of sugar. It's just become one of those sugar delivery systems in our food economy.

A lot of what you see in the supermarket I would argue is not really food. It's what I call edible, food-like substances.

Now that I know how supermarket meat is made, I regard eating it as a somewhat risky proposition. I know how those animals live and what's on their hides when they go to slaughter, so I don't buy industrial meat.

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.

The odds of going to the store for a loaf of bread and coming out with ONLY a loaf of bread are three billion to one.

Even if you don't think you can cook well, you can cook better than the food industry.
