Michael Pollan Quotes

The Growth Of The American Food Industry Will Always Bump Up Against This Troublesome Biological Fact: Try As We Might, Each Of Us Can Only Eat About Fifteen Hundred Pounds Of Food A Year. Unlike Many Other Products - CDs, Say, Or Shoes - There's A Natural Limit To How Much Food We Each Can Consume Without Exploding. What This Means For The Food Industry Is That Its Natural Rate Of Growth Is Somewhere Around 1 Percent Per Year - 1 Percent Being The Annual Growth Rate Of American Population. The Problem Is That [the Industry] Won't Tolerate Such An Anemic Rate Of Growth.
