It's about children cooking themselves, growing themselves. When kids grow it and cook it they eat it.

More quotes by 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
Good food depends almost entirely on good ingredients.
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
How we eat can change the world
Alice Waters
Cooking creates a sense of well-being for yourself and the people you love and brings beauty and meaning to everyday life. And all it requires is common sense – the common sense to eat seasonally, to know where your food comes from, to support and buy from local farmers and producers who are good stewards of our natural resources.
Alice Waters
The problem with living in a fast-food nation is that we expect food to be cheap.
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
The decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every way.
Alice Waters
It is a fundamental fact that no cook, however creative and capable, can produce a dish of a quality any higher than that of its raw ingredients.
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
We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture.
Alice Waters
Cooking and shopping for food brings rhythm and meaning to our lives.
Alice Waters
The things most worth wanting are not available everywhere all the time.
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
It's interesting that we are sensorially deprived. And not always because of poverty or hunger, but because we have been really indoctrinated into such a way that we don't sit in the present. Technology takes the place of food often.
Alice Waters
This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.
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
I came to all the realizations about sustainability and biodiversity because I fell in love with the way food tastes. And because I was looking for that taste I feel at the doorsteps of the organic, local, sustainable farmers, dairy people and fisherman.
Alice Waters
Let things taste of what they are.
Alice Waters
Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.
