Let things taste the way they are.

Good food is a right, not a privilege. It brings children into a positive relationship with their health, community and environment.

Cooking and shopping for food brings rhythm and meaning to our lives.

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.

If Ive gone to the market on Saturday, and I go another time on Tuesday, then Im really prepared. I can cook a little piece of fish; I can wilt some greens with garlic; I can slice tomatoes and put a little olive oil on. Its effortless.

In terms of kids not liking the food, I am shocked. I know that it's not true. I know that when kids are not educated about healthy food, they have a resistance to it. The resistance comes, again, from the fast-food culture.

I love those tiny little onions in the spring that are so small they're almost like a little chive.
