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.
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.
believe guess maybe
I guess I don't really believe in retirement. I believe in shorter days and maybe in weekends!

government mcdonalds insane
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.
summer childhood corn
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.
agriculture people helping
I feel it is an obligation to help people understand the relation of food to agriculture and the relationship of food to culture.

Let things taste the way they are.
