Create a garden; bring children to farms for field trips. I think its important that parents and teachers get together to do one or two things they can accomplish well - a teaching garden, connecting with farms nearby, weave food into the curriculum.

We've been so disconnected agriculturally and culturally from food. We spend more time on dieting than on cooking.

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

Let things taste the way they are.

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

Change the food in the schools and we can influence how children think. Change the curriculum and teach them how to garden and how to cook and we can show that growing food and cooking and eating together give lasting richness, meaning, and beauty to our lives.

Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.
