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

More quotes by 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
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
The problem with living in a fast-food nation is that we expect food to be cheap.
Alice Waters
To have a basic ingredient that can be prepared a million different ways is a beautiful thing.
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
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 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
It's a comfort to always find pasta in the cupboard and garlic and parsley in the garden.
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
I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.
Alice Waters
We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture.
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
It's about children cooking themselves, growing themselves. When kids grow it and cook it they eat it.
Alice Waters
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
Let things taste of what they are.
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
Good food depends almost entirely on good ingredients.
Alice Waters
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.
Alice Waters
Eating is an environmental act.
Alice Waters
Good food should be a right not a privilege.
