Why are kids being inundated with food that is not good for them, when we're suffering from an obesity crisis? Is the U.S. government talking out of both sides of its mouth, promoting bad food while telling us not to eat it?

We have allowed ourselves to be defined by our consumption instead of by our ability to move beyond it.

We have been brainwashed into craving a diet that is killing us. What we believe tastes good is generally what we have been socially conditioned to enjoy.

Where do thoroughbreds go after they lose one too many races, throw one too many riders, or develop a limp? Many thousands of thoroughbreds end up being slaughtered for horse meat. The unpleasant truth is horse meat is eaten in Europe and Asia.

We have got to stop being a society that turns our heads and looks the other way.

Something is sick with our society that we have to deal with.

Obesity affects every aspect of a people's lives, from health to relationships.

I think I would love to have dinner with Gandhi; Jesus Christ; Mother Theresa; Ingrid Newkirk, the president of PETA; and Madonna.

I love 'Scandal.' It's my favorite show - it's really - the only one I really watch.

I love working with PETA.

I would love to speak with First Lady Michelle Obama about the addictive component of obesity.

We have secrets, and we have the same secrets that criminals have. Sometimes the only difference between a criminal and a law-abiding citizen is that somebody found out the criminal's secret.
