As the earth spins through space a view from above the North Pole would encompass most of the wealth of the world - most of its food productive machines doctors engineers and teachers. A view from the opposite pole would encompass most of the world's poor.

My Food Network shows 'Emeril Live' and 'Essence of Emeril ' are not in production right now but I wouldn't say that I'm necessarily leaving Food Network. I have a lot of television still in me. I enjoy teaching people so it's just a matter of time before I do something new.

In a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred it teaches rather self-knowledge and self-respect.

An Englishman teaching an American about food is like the blind leading the one-eyed.

My mother was a P.E. teacher and she was kind of a fanatic about fitness and nutrition growing up so it was ingrained in me at a young age. As I get older I'm finding out it's not about getting all buffed up and looking good. It's more about staying healthy and flexible.

The spirit of the Olympic movement is great for young people because it teaches them about the training and discipline required to compete. Even if they don't make the teams they can rededicate their lives to the art of sport discipline and physical fitness.

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

People react to fear not love they don't teach that in Sunday School but it's true.
