children new-relationship agriculture
We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture.
children real school
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.
beautiful way ingredients
To have a basic ingredient that can be prepared a million different ways is a beautiful thing.
decisions-you-make choices way
The decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every way.
thinking care matter
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.
children real thinking
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.
world changing-the-world
How we eat can change the world
garden pasta garlic
It's a comfort to always find pasta in the cupboard and garlic and parsley in the garden.
taste ingredients cooks
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.
thoughtful hopeful inspire
This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.
children believe land
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.
educational teaching kids
Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.
real school lunch
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.
children community privilege
Good food is a right, not a privilege. It brings children into a positive relationship with their health, community and environment.
