Frankly, any city person who doesn't think I deserve a white-collar salary as a farmer doesn't deserve my special food.

You know, in our culture today, our Western, reductionist, Roman, linear, fragmented... culture, we don't ask how to make a pig happy. We ask how to grow it faster, fatter, bigger, cheaper, and that's not a noble goal.

Our land-healing ministry really is about cultivating relationships: between the people, the loving stewards, and the ecology of a place, what I call the environmental umbilical that we're nurturing here.

The truth is, everything is eating and being eaten.

The cycle of life is death, decomposition and regeneration, and a person who wants to stop killing animals is actually anti-life because it's only in death that life can be regenerated.

The mechanical food system externalizes a lot of costs like obesity or Type 2 diabetes.

The butcher, baker, and candlestick maker have been around a lot longer than supermarkets and Wal-Mart.

No civilization on the brink of collapse has ever changed fast enough to avert collapse.

You can't have a healthy civilization without healthy soil. You can't have junk food and have healthy people.

The cows shorten the grass, and the chickens eat the fly larvae and sanitize the pastures. This is a symbiotic relation.

Our main deal is pastured livestock. So we have beef cattle, pigs, turkeys, laying chickens, meat chickens, rabbit, lamb and ducks - egg-layer ducks.

Outrageous behavior, also known as the lunatic fringe, is the seed bed of innovation and creativity.

Know you food, know your farmers, and know your kitchen.

I'm not someone who... counts calories or tracks macros; I've never known how many grams of this and that and how many calories I eat.

I just have the ability to make a four-year-old kid and a 50-year-old man feel good at the same time. I don't talk down or up. I'm just myself.

I've always been a fan of the home workout. I know a lot of people think that jumping around in your living room is never going to be as effective. But you can get an amazing workout using your bodyweight alone.

I'm not the best trainer in the world. I'm not the most technical or scientific. But I consistently put videos out there, whether it's for your grandma or a young toddler. And I'm relentless.

I try to be as genuine and authentic as possible.

Role modelling for your kids is so essential.

I do need to exercise. I feel I'm a much better person for it.

I believe that a child who exercises is more alert, focused, positive, has better mental health.

I think exercise is a huge part of structuring each day.

I don't want people to compare themselves to me and feel bad. I want to be inspiring, not to depress them.

Having a perfect set of abs will not bring you happiness, but eating healthy food and exercising will.
