Alice Waters Quotes

I know once people get connected to real food, they never change back Picture Quote #1

Eating is an environmental act Picture Quote #1

I can remember the three restaurant experiences of my childhood. All I wanted to do on my birthday was to go to the Automat in New York... but I don’t know if you consider that a real restaurant Picture Quote #1

We make decisions every day about what we’re going to eat. And some people want to buy Nike shoes - two pairs, and other people want to eat Bronx grapes and nourish themselves. I pay a little extra, but this is what I want to do Picture Quote #1

I feel like old age in America is a very sad thing. I have been many different places around the world where getting older is something you look forward to Picture Quote #1

Americans don’t have deep gastronomic roots. They wanted to get away from the cultures of Europe or wherever they came from. We stirred up that melting pot pretty quickly Picture Quote #1

We’ve been so disconnected agriculturally and culturally from food. We spend more time on dieting than on cooking Picture Quote #1

In countries around the world, people spend more money on food because they know how precious it is Picture Quote #1

I do feel like food should cost more, because we aren’t paying farmers a living wage. It has to cost more Picture Quote #1

You do need some dispensation for local farmers, because the fast food industry will promote the unsanitary conditions of farming. With vegetables, you have to be careful where they come from; you have to know the farmers and trust them. If you buy from the farmers’ market, it’s already been investigated Picture Quote #1

I eat meat, but no meat that isn’t pastured is acceptable, and we probably need to eat a whole lot less Picture Quote #1

We all need to know how to cook. I can buy a chicken and have many meals come from it. Is it affordable? Yes. Cheap? No. I want to pay the farmers the right price for food. They deserve it. They are the most important people in the country besides our teachers Picture Quote #1

Go to the farmers market and buy food there. You’ll get something that’s delicious. It’s discouraging that this seems like such an elitist thing. It’s not. It’s just that we have to pay the real cost of food. People have to understand that cheap food has been subsidized. We have to realize that it’s important to pay farmers up front, because they are taking care of the land Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

A whole set of values comes with fast food: Everything should be fast, cheap and easy; there’s always more where that came from; there are no seasons; you shouldn’t be paid very much for preparing food. It’s uniformity and a lack of connection Picture Quote #1

We eat every day, and if we do it in a way that doesn’t recognize value, it’s contributing to the destruction of our culture and of agriculture. But if it’s done with a focus and care, it can be a wonderful thing. It changes the quality of your life Picture Quote #1

The act of eating is very political. You buy from the right people, you support the right network of farmers and suppliers who care about the land and what they put in the food Picture Quote #1

I think if you buy from people who are taking care of the land, you’re supporting the future of this country Picture Quote #1

The biggest thing you can do is understand that every time you’re going to the grocery store, you’re voting with your dollars. Support your farmers’ market. Support local food. Really learn to cook Picture Quote #1

Organize yourself so you aren’t struggling to shop at the last minute. When you have real food, it’s very easy to cook Picture Quote #1

I really like having someone who knows about food and what goes well together make a meal for me Picture Quote #1

It’s about children cooking themselves, growing themselves. When kids grow it and cook it they eat it Picture Quote #1

I once had an Early Girl tomato at my friend Jay’s house, and I thought that was the best thing I’d ever had. But then I visited friends in Senegal, and I ate sea urchin pulled fresh out of the sea. It tasted like the ocean Picture Quote #1

My mother made a lot of things because she thought they’d be healthy for us. There were some very unfortunate experiences with whole wheat bread and bananas. I always tried to get rid of that sandwich and eat one of my friends’ lunches Picture Quote #1

In Berkeley, we built the garden and a kitchen classroom. We’ve been working on it for 12 years. We’ve learned a lot from it. If kids grow it and cook it, they eat it Picture Quote #1

I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I came to all the realizations about sustainability and biodiversity because I fell in love with the way food tastes. That was it. And because I was looking for that taste I feel at the doorsteps of the organic, local, sustainable farmers, dairy people and fisherman Picture Quote #1

The fact that most kids aren’t eating at home with their families any more really means they are eating elsewhere. They are eating out there in fast food nation Picture Quote #1
