Good food depends almost entirely on good ingredients.

The problem with living in a fast-food nation is that we expect food to be cheap.

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.

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.

I feel that good food should be a right and not a privilege, and it needs to be without pesticides and herbicides. And everybody deserves this food. And that's not elitist.

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.
