“Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave. Nothing could vanquish me.”

-Cheryl Strayed, Wild

“If digging up our gardens, getting an allotment, shopping at farmers’ markets, growing organically, and eating sustainably is seen as a sign of our collective guilt for what we have done to the planet, then so be it.  We can never totally undo what has been done.  But there are some of us, hopeful, deluded, possibly a wee bit mad, who are happy to try to put in more than we take out.  One of the ways we can do that is to eat a greener diet.”

-Nigel Slater, Tender
