     Food is not a weapon. To use it as such — to foster a
     mentality willing to use it as such — is to prepare, in the
     human character and community, the destruction of the
     sources of food. … Neither nature nor people alone can
     produce human sustenance, but only the two together,
     culturally wedded.

Food is a cultural product; it cannot be produced by technology alone … a healthy culture is a communal order of memory, insight, value, work, conviviality, reverence, aspiration. … It clarifies our inescapable bonds to the earth and to each other.
