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

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.

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

People cooked with a certain integrity before fast food, 50 or 60 years ago. When the cheap food arrived, and we didn't have the education and deep cultural roots to hold on, we got swept away by fast, cheap and easy.

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

Eating is an environmental act.

The decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every way.
