Family dinner is how we civilize our children. It is how we get them into good habits like drinking water with supper, saying please and thank you, learning how to listen and take turns. It's how we pass on our family histories.
Quote by -Laurie David
When kids help cook, even if its just shredding the herbs or stirring the pot, they eat more and they eat better.

Having a sit down, no screens, home cooked dinner is one of the most powerful things you can do as a parent and I believe it's the most important activity you can do as a family.

My dad was a pool-equipment salesman. He died when I was 12. Heart attack on a golf course.
Quote by -Laurie David
Growing up, I didn't have great family dinners. We sat down every night, and my mother cooked food, but it was always about who was going to leave the table crying first.
Quote by -Laurie David
I'm becoming more of a religious person actually as I get older, which I think is not an unusual phenomenon.

Quote by -Laurie David
Yes, I take a private plane on holiday a couple of times a year, and I feel horribly guilty about it. I probably shouldn't do it. But the truth is, I'm not perfect.
Quote by -Laurie David
I want everyone else to become a global warming activist so it's not all on my shoulders.
Quote by -Laurie David
And by the way, the United States is the biggest cause in global warming pollution. And we're doing the least about it. I find that personally embarrassing.
Quote by -Laurie David
History will judge Senator Inhofe. You know he has a lot or responsibility on his hands for keeping any kind of movement and serious, meaningful action on global warming happening in the Congress.
Quote by -Laurie David
If you're doing takeout, try to get the healthiest takeout you can. And just take it out of the plastic, right? Get your grandma's old china or get a fancy little bowl, and put the takeout in the bowl and light a candle.

What is the quickest way to reduce our dependence on oil? Embrace hybrid technology.
Quote by -Laurie David
I have kids, I want something left for them. It's a cliche, I know, but it's true. That's what drives me every day.
Quote by -Laurie David
That's what hurts the environmental movement - holding people to a standard they cannot meet. That just pushes people away.

Any time you put people in a room with Bill McDonough, they leave there blown away, their mouths agape. I had a similar feeling when I first met Al Gore.
Quote by -Laurie David
Small acts by millions of people - imagine the impact of that. If someone changes one thing, they're likely to change two things, and then three things. Then they're likely to demand that from their leadership.
Quote by -Laurie David
Vote for candidates who care about these issues, and hold these candidates accountable. I don't care what party; I'm past that point. I care whether they are concerned about the energy security of this country.
Quote by -Laurie David
I didn't have any eating disorder or food addiction, but I struggle like every single person with my weight every day. Honestly, a day does not go by where I am not thinking about what I am eating.
Quote by -Laurie David
A successful dinner is one that lasts a while and one where everyone leaves happy.
Quote by -Laurie David
Everything you worry about as a parent can be improved by sitting down regularly with your kids.

The fact that this is what John McCain is suggesting - more offshore drilling and more nuclear power plants? I don't think so. Not even close. Not even in the ballpark of what we need.

Kids need rituals. They need the security of them, the bonding time of them.
Quote by -Laurie David
Look, I don't have the millions of dollars that Exxon has. But I've got comedy. I've got satire. I've got stars.
Quote by -Laurie David
What does everyone in America own? A car. What is the quickest way to reduce our dependence on oil? Embrace hybrid technology.
Quote by -Laurie David
When you see that charger in the wall, you have to now say okay that's, that's contributing to global-warming pollution, I have to pull that charger out of the wall.
Quote by -Laurie David
Food is being purposefully formulated to addict you.Then it is purposefully marketed, targeted to young children to addict them at an early age. This is unethical, right? This is immoral, particularly when you see the results of it which is this world-wide epidemic of diabetes and obesity.
Quote by -Laurie David
Americans want to reduce our dependence on oil. And Americans really don't wanna be contributing global warming if they can help it.
