"Probably the best and most robust group that is able to respond to the issues of hunger is the food community, particularly in Brooklyn. We're dramatically increasing our procurement from purveyors of New York State products, both farmers and value -added purveyors."
"If you receive food stamps as an individual, you have to live on four dollars and fifty cents a day. It grows for a family, it's about twelve dollars a day. It's a significant problem. There's been a 25% increase in the number of folks with four-year degrees who are [finding] themselves in food pantries and soup kitchens."

"This idea that the only kind of authentic working class food experience is fast food, I think that is something only an elitist would come up with."
"One thing that really defines species is their food sources and one thing that really defines human evolution was reducing the amount of time dedicated to foraging and actually eating. . .humans have always been trying to economize on the time and energy we spend on getting food cause it frees up for all the other stuff we do and creating culture and I don't know that we should really chastise people for continuing that."
"Right now the American food supply contains about half the fruit and vegetables it would take for Americans to meet the recommended daily allowances, we clearly haven't made a priority in terms of our agriculture to foster a healthy diet . . I'm into the idea that we should subsidize demand because it creates a more sustainable long term fix."
