For me food is all about balance. If you eat plenty of fruits vegetables and an appropriate amount of poultry fish and red meat that are sourced from good places you're doing well. It's important to make sure that the meat you're consuming is hormone-free.

If you think of what food is it's the energy we use to do our daily work. I want people to know about the USDA. This is a very important department. It's not fully appreciated as such.

Somewhere between 50 to 60 percent of the food you eat has been touched by immigrant hands and it is fair to say some of them are not here as they should be here. But if you didn't have these folks you would be spending a lot more - three four or five times more - for food or we would have to import food and have all the food security risks.

Even more importantly it's wine food and the arts. Incorporating those three enhances the quality of life.

There are a lot of food Nazis in the U.S. but I believe if you can show people what's really important they'll judge the rest for themselves.

There's so much importance in honoring your everyday hero. It doesn't take money. It doesn't take connections. What matters is that people get involved. Whether your passion is gun control or food or whatever it may be everybody needs to stop being so self-absorbed.

Fast food is hugely important in the life of a comedy writer. All we do is order in and what we're going to eat is hotly debated.

Instead of going out to dinner buy good food. Cooking at home shows such affection. In a bad economy it's more important to make yourself feel good.

You're raising a kid and you give it food and shelter and most importantly you give it the feeling that it's special. I think people react to celebrities like that - I mean they treat celebrities like children.

I've often said that the most important thing you can give your children is wings. Because you're not gonna always be able to bring food to the nest. You're... sometimes... they're gonna have to be able to fly by themselves.

We begin to see therefore the importance of selecting our environment with the greatest of care because environment is the mental feeding ground out of which the food that goes into our minds is extracted.

Food simply isn't important to me.

I also meet with city officials representatives from governors' offices really anyone in that sort of position who has shown an interest in youth fitness to let them know why this sort of program is so important. I give the same message when I speak at conferences.

I believe it's extremely important to include some other type of fitness activity in your training so cross training will help you to avoid injury when you are dancing.

I recommend that people try new stuff or take new fitness classes all the time. It's important to mix up your routine not only for your body but also for your mental state.

Teaching kids about health and fitness is important to me. It's about being fit for life.

I think fitness is important. I think a healthy lifestyle is important. I think putting positive energy out there is important and just staying connected with the people.

Parentage is a very important profession but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children.

I think it's more important to be fit so that you can be healthy and enjoy activities than it is to have a good body.

It's very important to have the right clothing to exercise in. If you throw on an old T-shirt or sweats it's not inspiring for your workout.

Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.

Well paycheck protection is an important ingredient for a successful campaign finance reform measure.

Well first let me say that I think health care reform is important. It has to be a priority. And our system is broken. The Finance Committee bill is the best effort yet due in large measure to the efforts of my colleague Olympia Snowe but it's not there yet. It falls short.

In the long term Germany didn't need a finance minister who was absent during important negotiations in the European Council. But the chancellor strongly encouraged me to stay. And everything did work out for the best in the end.
