It's a comfort to always find pasta in the cupboard and garlic and parsley in the garden.
Alice Waters
Image
We can't think narrowly. We have to think in the biggest possible way.
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 want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.
Alice Waters
Image
It's about children cooking themselves, growing themselves. When kids grow it and cook it they eat it.
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.

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.

Eating is an environmental act.
Alice Waters
Image
We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture.
Alice Waters
Image
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
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
Let things taste of what they are.
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
The things most worth wanting are not available everywhere all the time.
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 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.
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.

Image
Cooking and shopping for food brings rhythm and meaning to our lives.
Alice Waters
Image
The decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every way.
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.
