I love those tiny little onions in the spring that are so small they're almost like a little chive.

The decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every way.

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.

I think the biggest impediment to fixing the food system in the United States is that we expect food to be cheap. We want to by other things with our money. We're so disconnected from agriculture - from the culture in agriculture.

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

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
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.

The problem with living in a fast-food nation is that we expect food to be cheap.

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.

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.

I do feel like food should cost more, because we aren't paying farmers a living wage. It has to cost more.
Alice Waters
Image
We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture.

Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.
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 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.

People cooked with a certain integrity before fast food, 50 or 60 years ago. When the cheap food arrived, and we didn't have the education and deep cultural roots to hold on, we got swept away by fast, cheap and easy.

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

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.

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.

This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.
