children patriotic school
I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.
available
The things most worth wanting are not available everywhere all the time.
children school garden
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.
mcdonalds california agriculture
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.
thinking way
We can't think narrowly. We have to think in the biggest possible way.
children believe school
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.
shopping cooking rhythm
Cooking and shopping for food brings rhythm and meaning to our lives.
creative cooking quality
It is a fundamental fact that no cook, however creative and capable, can produce a dish of a quality any higher than that of its raw ingredients.
cost should farmers
I do feel like food should cost more, because we aren't paying farmers a living wage. It has to cost more.
privilege good-food should
Good food should be a right not a privilege
taste healthy-eating eating-healthy-food
Let things taste of what they are.
spring littles tiny
I love those tiny little onions in the spring that are so small they're almost like a little chive.
quality lists purity
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.
ingredients good-food depends
Good food depends almost entirely on good ingredients.
