Corn is an efficient way to get energy calories off the land and soybeans are an efficient way of getting protein off the land, so we've designed a food system that produces a lot of cheap corn and soybeans resulting in a lot of cheap fast food Picture Quote #1

Fairness forces you - even when you're writing a piece highly critical of, say, genetically modified food, as I have done - to make sure you represent the other side as extensively and as accurately as you possibly can Picture Quote #1

For at the same time many people seem eager to extend the circle of our moral consideration to animals, in our factory farms and laboratories we are inflicting more suffering on more animals than at any time in history Picture Quote #1

The Times has much less power than you think. I believe we attribute power to the media generally that it simply doesn't have. It's very convenient to blame the media, the same way we blame television for everything that's going wrong in society Picture Quote #1

Anyway, in my writing I've always been interested in finding places to stand, and I've found it very useful to have a direct experience of what I'm writing about Picture Quote #1

Every major food company now has an organic division. There's more capital going into organic agriculture than ever before Picture Quote #1

I mean, we're really making a quantum change in our relationship to the plant world with genetic modification Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

In general, science journalism concerns itself with what has been published in a handful of peer reviewed journals - Nature, Cell, The New England Journal of Medicine - which set the agenda Picture Quote #1

My work has also motivated me to put a lot of time into seeking out good food and to spend more money on it Picture Quote #1

The larger meaning here is that mainstream journalists simply cannot talk about things that the two parties agree on; this is the black hole of American politics Picture Quote #1
