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.

More quotes by Alice Waters
I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.
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
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
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
Good food is a right, not a privilege. It brings children into a positive relationship with their health, community and environment.
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 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
When you're really considering all the qualities of food, purity is right there at the top of the list. I'm unwilling to eat food that has been adulterated.
Alice Waters
Let things taste the way they are.
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
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
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
To have a basic ingredient that can be prepared a million different ways is a beautiful thing.
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
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
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 do feel like food should cost more, because we aren't paying farmers a living wage. It has to cost more.
Alice Waters
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.
Alice Waters
Change the food in the schools and we can influence how children think. Change the curriculum and teach them how to garden and how to cook and we can show that growing food and cooking and eating together give lasting richness, meaning, and beauty to our lives.
Alice Waters
