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

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

I do feel like food should cost more, because we aren't paying farmers a living wage. It has to cost more.

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.

Cooking creates a sense of well-being for yourself and the people you love and brings beauty and meaning to everyday life. And all it requires is common sense – the common sense to eat seasonally, to know where your food comes from, to support and buy from local farmers and producers who are good stewards of our natural resources.

Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.

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.
