Good food should be a right not a privilege.

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

This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.

I came to all the realizations about sustainability and biodiversity because I fell in love with the way food tastes. And because I was looking for that taste I feel at the doorsteps of the organic, local, sustainable farmers, dairy people and fisherman.

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.

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

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