More quotes by Alice Waters

We can't think narrowly. We have to think in the biggest possible way.

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.

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.
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.
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
I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.
Alice Waters
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
The problem with living in a fast-food nation is that we expect food to be cheap.
Alice Waters
It's about children cooking themselves, growing themselves. When kids grow it and cook it they eat it.
Alice Waters
Good food depends almost entirely on good ingredients.
