I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.

We've been so disconnected agriculturally and culturally from food. We spend more time on dieting than on cooking.
Alice Waters

The biggest thing right now, is supporting the people who take care of the environment. We must take care of the people who take care of the land. And so, if 20% of the population is in school, and they are asked to buy this food from farms. I mean at the real cost without a middleman, it could be amazing. It could change farming overnight.

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.

Good food is a right, not a privilege. It brings children into a positive relationship with their health, community and environment.

The decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every way.
Alice Waters
Image
The way we subsidize food makes it cheaper to go to McDonald's and get a hamburger than a salad, and that's insane. It's pure government policy.
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 love those tiny little onions in the spring that are so small they're almost like a little chive.

Eating is an environmental act.

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
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
I feel it is an obligation to help people understand the relation of food to agriculture and the relationship of food to culture.

The things most worth wanting are not available everywhere all the time.

Cooking and shopping for food brings rhythm and meaning to our lives.

Good food depends almost entirely on good ingredients.
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
Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.

To have a basic ingredient that can be prepared a million different ways is a beautiful thing.
