Quotes

It’s always possible to
wake someone from sleep, but no amount of noise will wake someone who is pretending to be
asleep.

From 1935 to 1995, the average weight of “broilers” increased by 65 percent,
while their time-to-market dropped 60 percent and their feed requirements dropped 57 percent.
To gain a sense of the radicalness of this change, imagine human children growing to be three
hundred pounds in ten years, while eating only granola bars and Flintstones vitamins.
