It should be the great American dish - perfect late-night stoner dorm food for college kids on a budget. — Anthony Bourdain

They're dummies, and if they splatter their brains all over the sidewalk, they're not going to be collecting food stamps. — Stephen King
The people who benefit from this state of affairs have been at pains to convince us that the agricultural practices and policies that have almost annihilated the farming population have greatly benefited the population of food consumers.

Farmers since the beginning of time have been feeding the world very successfully without systematically abusing animals or destroying the environment.

All in the interest of it being cheap. — Jonathan Safran Foer
Food should be cheap, and labor should be cheap, and everything should be the same no matter where you go; whether it's a McDonald's in Germany or one in California, it should be the same.

The consumer wants food to be as cheap as possible. The producer wants it to be as expensive as possible. Both want it to involve as little labor as possible.

Big food companies have their priorities, which include selling cheap, unhealthy foods at high profits. — Jared Polis
