One can only be in awe of the creativity of chocolate marketers. My take is that if there is a health benefit, it is small.

There's no question that largely vegetarian diets are as healthy as you can get. The evidence is so strong and overwhelming and produced over such a long period of time that it's no longer debatable.

Unbelievable as it may seem, one-third of all vegetables consumed in the United States come from just three sources: french fries, potato chips, and iceberg lettuce.

The real reason for health claims is well established: health claims sell food products.

Eat less, move more, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, go easy on junk foods.

Here we have the great irony of modern nutrition: at a time when hundreds of millions of people do not have enough to eat, hundreds of millions more are eating too much and are overweight or obese.

The key dietary messages are stunningly simple: Eat less, move more, eat more fruits and vegetables, and don't eat too much junk food. It's no more complicated than that.

These days the biggest issue is how many calories you consume. So all of this stuff distracts people from thinking about calories.

They (food companies) are putting $36 billion into directing those choices. And their methods are very effective.

Restaurants that have health-conscious consumers will pay attention to this.

It's a completely reasonable diet -- heavy on fruits and vegetables and fresh, seasonal foods. I'm totally for it. It's common sense in a nice package.

We are all brothers, and yet I live by receiving a salary for arraigning, judging and punishing a thief or a prostitute, whose existence is conditioned by the whole consumption of my life.

The family wage has been eroded by the same developments that have promoted consumerism as a way of life.

We must recall the most important of humanity guidelines: Be polite. Being polite is possibly the greatest daily contribution everyone can make to life on Earth.

I realize I'm a very lucky man. I love what I do, I love films, TV and theater, and the fact that I'm able to make a living at it staggers me.

Well, I never lived through the Great Depression, sometimes I feel as though I did.

I love stage actors. The pool of world class actors that have done theater [is big], there's a higher opportunity of grabbing somebody from that pool.

You become a film critic because you're interested in film. I don't know whether knowing so much about cinema leads you to make better films, but it certainly can't hurt.

The whole world is waiting. The whole world needs you.

No problem of human making is too great to be overcome by human ingenuity, human energy, and the untiring hope of the human spirit.
