The decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every way.
Alice Waters
Image
I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.
Alice Waters
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The problem with living in a fast-food nation is that we expect food to be cheap.
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.
Alice Waters
Image
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
Image
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
Image
When you have the best and tastiest ingredients, you can cook very simply and the food will be extraordinary because it tastes like what it is.
Alice Waters
Image
I love those tiny little onions in the spring that are so small they're almost like a little chive.
Alice Waters
Image
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
Image
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
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
Image
It's about children cooking themselves, growing themselves. When kids grow it and cook it they eat it.
Alice Waters
Image
Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.
Alice Waters
Image
Cooking and shopping for food brings rhythm and meaning to our lives.
Alice Waters
Image
Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.
Alice Waters
Image
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
Image
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.
