...mentioned that you've tried being a vegetarian and that you're also sometimes a "flexitarian." What's your status now? [Laughs] I haven't really tried being a vegetarian to be honest. Personally, I want to eat food that's grown fairly. I'm trying to eat things that are in season. I'm trying to buy it from local sources whenever possible. Cooking at home is one of the great answers. Eating with your family is one of the greatest things we can do. We're going to have better food, and we're going to have...

...this stuff has changed over the past 15 years. There was a time when you were busted by the state or by the county officials, and it was a very friendly thing. It was expected eventually [everyone] would be busted. Everyone knew each other. They had grown up together. These were busts that began with "How is your mom doing?"
