“The challenge may seem daunting, but we can do what our ancestors did: take one small step after another until we arrive at a very different place. Risen apes or fallen angels, we walk tall with eyes forward—one foot firmly planted on the ground of what we are, the other reaching into the future of what we can become.”

“Almost any change in diet that results in eating less industrial foods will improve one’s health. It doesn’t matter whether it’s due to veganism or Atkins—people who stop drinking soda will get healthier. This is a major reason that so many wacky diet programs work initially: they get people to avoid a similar set of industrial foods, such as white flour, refined sugar, and vegetable oils.”
