More quotes by Alice Waters
We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture.
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
The things most worth wanting are not available everywhere all the time.
Alice Waters
Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.
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
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
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 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
Let things taste the way they are.
Alice Waters
Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.
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
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
Good food should be a right not a privilege.
Alice Waters
The decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every 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
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
We can't think narrowly. We have to think in the biggest possible way.
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
It's about children cooking themselves, growing themselves. When kids grow it and cook it they eat it.
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.
