More quotes by Alice Waters
I have a love affair with tomatoes and corn. I remember them from my childhood. I only had them in the summer. They were extraordinary.
Alice Waters
Good food should be a right not a privilege.
Alice Waters
I love those tiny little onions in the spring that are so small they're almost like a little chive.
Alice Waters
Let things taste of what they are.
Alice Waters
I think the biggest impediment to fixing the food system in the United States is that we expect food to be cheap. We want to by other things with our money. We're so disconnected from agriculture - from the culture in agriculture.
Alice Waters
We can't think narrowly. We have to think in the biggest possible way.
Alice Waters
Change the food in the schools and we can influence how children think. Change the curriculum and teach them how to garden and how to cook and we can show that growing food and cooking and eating together give lasting richness, meaning, and beauty to our lives.
Alice Waters
I feel that good food should be a right and not a privilege, and it needs to be without pesticides and herbicides. And everybody deserves this food. And that's not elitist.
Alice Waters
I think Americas food culture is embedded in fast-food culture. And the real question that we have is: How are we going to teach slow-food values in a fast-food world? Of course, its very, very difficult to do, especially when children have grown up eating fast food and the values that go with that.
Alice Waters
Eating is an environmental act.
Alice Waters
Good food depends almost entirely on good ingredients.
Alice Waters
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.
Alice Waters
Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.
Alice Waters
I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.
Alice Waters
Create a garden bring children to farms for field trips. I think its important that parents and teachers get together to do one or two things they can accomplish well - a teaching garden, connecting with farms nearby, weave food into the curriculum.
Alice Waters
Good food is a right, not a privilege. It brings children into a positive relationship with their health, community and environment.
Alice Waters
I am confident that we will see a growing consensus about the most effective way to transform food in America: building a real, sustainable and free school-lunch program.
Alice Waters
It's a comfort to always find pasta in the cupboard and garlic and parsley in the garden.
Alice Waters
It's about children cooking themselves, growing themselves. When kids grow it and cook it they eat it.
Alice Waters
Food should be cheap, and labor should be cheap, and everything should be the same no matter where you go whether it's a McDonald's in Germany or one in California, it should be the same. And this message is destroying cultures around the world. Needless to say, agriculture goes with it.
