More quotes by Alice Waters
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
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
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
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
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 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.
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
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
I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.
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
Good food is a right, not a privilege. It brings children into a positive relationship with their health, community and environment.
Alice Waters
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.
Alice Waters
Cooking creates a sense of well-being for yourself and the people you love and brings beauty and meaning to everyday life. And all it requires is common sense – the common sense to eat seasonally, to know where your food comes from, to support and buy from local farmers and producers who are good stewards of our natural resources.
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 depends almost entirely on good ingredients.
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
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
It's interesting that we are sensorially deprived. And not always because of poverty or hunger, but because we have been really indoctrinated into such a way that we don't sit in the present. Technology takes the place of food often.
Alice Waters
Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.
Alice Waters
We've been so disconnected agriculturally and culturally from food. We spend more time on dieting than on cooking.
