This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.

I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.
Alice Waters
Image
I believe that every child in this world needs to have a relationship with the land...to know how to nourish themselves...and to know how to connect with the community around them.
Alice Waters
Image
Good food is a right, not a privilege. It brings children into a positive relationship with their health, community and environment.
Alice Waters
Image
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.

Image
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.

Image
I really am at a place where I think we need to feed every child at school for free and feed them a real school lunch that's sustainable and nutritious and delicious. It needs to be part of the curriculum of the school in the same way that physical education was part of the curriculum, and all children participated.

Good food should be a right not a privilege.
Alice Waters

Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.
Alice Waters
Image
The dinner table is a rite of civilization and we need to participate in that to keep our families together, to keep our communities together.
Alice Waters
Image
We still need to learn how to talk about food and education, because they haven't been talked about together, really. Education depends on our good health. It depends on our understanding of the environment and somehow we got those separate.

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
Image
Eating is an environmental act.
Alice Waters
Image
I do feel like food should cost more, because we aren't paying farmers a living wage. It has to cost more.
Alice Waters
Image
We've been so disconnected agriculturally and culturally from food. We spend more time on dieting than on cooking.
Alice Waters
Image
To have a basic ingredient that can be prepared a million different ways is a beautiful thing.
Alice Waters
Image
If Ive gone to the market on Saturday, and I go another time on Tuesday, then Im really prepared. I can cook a little piece of fish I can wilt some greens with garlic I can slice tomatoes and put a little olive oil on. Its effortless.
Alice Waters
Image
The problem with living in a fast-food nation is that we expect food to be cheap.
Alice Waters
Image
Because only slow food can teach us the things that really matter - care, beauty, concentration, discernment, sensuality, all the best that humans are capable of, but only if we take the time to think about what we're eating.
Alice Waters
Image
It's a comfort to always find pasta in the cupboard and garlic and parsley in the garden.
Alice Waters
Image
Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.
