I love Alton Brown's show 'Good Eats,' about the chemistry of food. It's really thoughtful.
About 20 per cent of the population believe themselves to have a food allergy and only about five per cent actually do.
It is clearly the case that programs in Europe and the United States that have increased biofuel production have contributed to the added demand for food.
I talk to trees and animals. We have interesting conversations about food, weather, and love. They sometimes can predict the future.
Also we will be carrying food and clothes for the Expedition Two crew. And as well as spare parts for the EVA that will be conducted from the station in the following months.
Fusion food as a concept is kind of trying to quite consciously fuse things that are sometimes quite contradictory, sometimes quite far apart, to see if they'd work.
Europe believes that providing clear labelling for genetically modified food is a consumer right, but such practice is absolutely opposed by the vast majority of states in the U.S.

Religions cannot change you. If you are angry, you will become an angry Muslim or Hindu. If you are righteous, you will become a righteous Christian or Jew.
I do strongly believe myself that members of the government who sit in the House of Lords should be accountable to the elected House because otherwise there is a democratic deficit, and that is wrong.
I don't accept the argument of people like David Horowitz that the government should impose some sort of predetermined political balance on academic research.
On Sundays when I speak, I hopefully give somebody something that they can use the next day at work or at home.
Having children changes you forever, as a writer and as a human being. I hope it's for the better on both counts, but I guess we'll see.
