We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture.

We've been so disconnected agriculturally and culturally from food. We spend more time on dieting than on cooking.

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.

We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture.

Create a garden; bring children to farms for field trips. I think its important that parents and teachers get together to do one or two things they can accomplish well - a teaching garden, connecting with farms nearby, weave food into the curriculum.

The things most worth wanting are not available everywhere all the time.

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.
