“90% of the corn produced in this country is a GMO crop.” [8:05]

“If we can’t find pork that was raised without sub-therapeutic antibiotics and in humane conditions, we just won’t serve pork.” [11:55]

“Fast food is an important component of the food landscape, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere… We’re proving that fast food can be cooked in the restaurant, and that you can use good ingredients.” [25:10]
