— Daniel Boulud
It's coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It's not just climate change; it's sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now.
— David Attenborough
We think that there's a lot of opportunities in helping improve finding food, delivering food, ordering systems, notifications system, and its a very frequent purchase item for a lot of people.
— Dave McClure

— Dave Bautista
That's a big goal of mine, to try and grow as much of my own food as possible.
— Daryl Hannah

— Daniel Rigby
If you had asked me when I was in law school or in college or as a kid, 'Is Daniel going to be running a food company?' I would tell you you're cuckoo. What I was going to be doing was representing Israel at the United Nations.
A cook never knows if the dish he perfected for hours was described properly or if a guest even liked his food. It's hard to spend hours perfecting a dish only to relinquish control. But chefs need to put aside their egos and trust the people serving the food.
As people move further away from a meat-based diet, I think the focus will shift to using grains as the central focus of our food supply.
I just really, really love food, so I don't have a favourite. But if I had to pick one to eat every day, it would be Italian. But I also love Chinese and Japanese food.

The only kind of seafood I trust is the fish stick, a totally featureless fish that doesn't have eyeballs or fins.
Invite your enemies to sit down and join you. One small thing you say might give them food for though, and you will learn.

I used to have a really hard time talking to people or looking them in the eye. Or I'd always, like, hide behind my mom, and, like, when we went to restaurants, I didn't like ordering my food. I'd have my mom order it because I didn't like talking to the waiters.
— Darci Lynne Farmer
We know there are good sugars and bad sugars, and we don't discuss whether food in general is good or bad for us. We need to be far more nuanced when we talk about the effects of video games.

Transparency is one of our core principles, We treat the food with integrity. We don't commodify it beyond recognition.
