Our full humanity is contingent on our hospitality we can be complete only when we are giving something away when we sit at the table and pass the peas to the person next to us we see that person in a whole new way.

I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.
Alice Waters
Image
I believe there should be breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack, all for free and for every child that goes to school. And all food that is good, clean and fair. It's unfair to charge for food in schools, especially to charge for food that is making children sick.

The decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every way.
Alice Waters

Cooking creates a sense of well-being for yourself and the people you love and brings beauty and meaning to everyday life. And all it requires is common sense – the common sense to eat seasonally, to know where your food comes from, to support and buy from local farmers and producers who are good stewards of our natural resources.
