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

More quotes by Alice Waters
Good food depends almost entirely on good ingredients.
Alice Waters
Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.
Alice Waters
To have a basic ingredient that can be prepared a million different ways is a beautiful thing.
Alice Waters
Cooking and shopping for food brings rhythm and meaning to our lives.
Alice Waters
I am confident that we will see a growing consensus about the most effective way to transform food in America: building a real, sustainable and free school-lunch program.
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
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 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
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.
Alice Waters
I love those tiny little onions in the spring that are so small they're almost like a little chive.
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
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 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
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 feel that good food should be a right and not a privilege, and it needs to be without pesticides and herbicides. And everybody deserves this food. And that's not elitist.
Alice Waters
The things most worth wanting are not available everywhere all the time.
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.
Alice Waters
Eating is an environmental act.
Alice Waters
We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture.
Alice Waters
Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.
