"You would be surprised at how into cooking so many kids are today."

"I think the importance of having kids in the kitchen is to expose them to something beyond cookies and snacks. It’s like a dumbing down of a child’s palate. By associating the fun of cooking only with sweets, you’re limiting the child’s experience."

"Parents should encourage children as early as possible to begin safely using kitchen equipment."

"It literally changes the quality of your life to be able to eat good food. It improves the nutrition of a child, and therefore it improves his or her health."

"There is a whole generation of kids coming up who don’t know about anything but eating processed food."

"There is such a great lesson to learn in having your children in the kitchen with you. Children can smell the smells and watch all that goes into the preparation of the food. It’s a five-sense experience for them."

"I feel like I'm juggling a lot right now, but my main focus is my cosmetics line. There's so much I want to do that I can't really think about anything else. I want to take my time and work on each individual product until it's perfect. I don't want to rush into anything."

"I had the opportunity to make like the coolest makeup line that I've always dreamed of. It's really my only passion.

It's about a labor market running so hot it's short of millions and millions of workers, which will make everything from childcare to elder care more inflationary in the long run"

"The possibility of an external hit like a windfall tax, export ban, or other such political measures risk keeping potential suppliers on the sidelines"

"There are too many job openings, a problem compounded by too much "phantom demand" caused by all the stimulus, and also by the lack of normal immigrant workers for political and pandemic reasons."

"The oil and gas industry was decimated by the shale bubble bursting last decade, and that reticence plus labor and supply shortages are keeping it from more quickly adding to capacity now. The possibility of an external hit like a windfall tax, export ban, or other such political measures risk keeping potential suppliers on the sidelines"

"If public officials want to keep their credibility, they need to acknowledge this fact. No one believes that this is a great economy, or is impressed by hearing dazzling stats about job creation.
