More quotes by 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.
Alice Waters
It's a comfort to always find pasta in the cupboard and garlic and parsley in the garden.
Alice Waters
The decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every way.
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
Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.
Alice Waters
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
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
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
Good food depends almost entirely on good ingredients.
Alice Waters
Cooking and shopping for food brings rhythm and meaning to our lives.
Alice Waters
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.
Alice Waters
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
It's about children cooking themselves, growing themselves. When kids grow it and cook it they eat it.
Alice Waters
In terms of kids not liking the food, I am shocked. I know that it's not true. I know that when kids are not educated about healthy food, they have a resistance to it. The resistance comes, again, from the fast-food culture.
Alice Waters
I feel it is an obligation to help people understand the relation of food to agriculture and the relationship of food to culture.
Alice Waters
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.

Good food should be a right not a privilege.

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.
