“Our bodies are not distinct from the bodies of plants and animals, with which we are involved in the cycles of feeding and the intricate companionship of ecological systems and of the spirit. They are not distinct from the earth, the sun and moon, and the other heavenly bodies. It is therefore absurd to approach the subject of health piecemeal with a departmentalized band of specialists. A medical doctor uninterested in nutrition, in agriculture, in the wholesomeness of mind and spirit is as absurd as a farmer who is uninterested in health. Our fragmentation of these subjects cannot be our cure, because it is our disease.”

- Wendell Berry
