I'm so thankful for Ms. Waters for a return to sensibility in food production and consumption. I was just thinking of an idea to do such a garden in my child's school, this piece gave me all the inspiration and encouragement that I need!

"How many stressed-out working mothers have time for THIS is the morning?"

5-10 minutes to make a salad. Wow!

If I can do it, any mother could do it. It's not hard. And cooking relieves stress if you're doing it at home. In the morning. before your kids are up. Why do the voiceovers constantly make biased, erroneous comments? Or, right... to make us doubtful about the integrity of cook.

I really do appreciate how she is trying to help everyone eat healthy, because our obesity rate in the U.S. is really high. I try to eat healthier foods, but sometimes people cannot afford it.

I'm curious as to why Ms. Stahl thinks having fresh food is a luxury and for the wealthy. There are so many means to grow fresh fruit/veggies/herbs regardless of where you live or how you live. Alice makes a wonderful point that many people prefer the luxury of new shoes or 'stuff' whereas others prefer the luxury of fresh foods (simpler means). Ms. Waters is iconic and inspirational.

ets feed every single child in school breakfast lunch and an afternoon snack ,for free and feed them reel food. Waters is absolutely right 1 in 2 children will get diebeates. people its time for some change what we really need to is we need to start working on making real food affordable.

It's a shame that some tend to write her off as a snobby, elitist leftist when it couldn't be farther from the truth. If it was up to Alice, everyone would be able to eat well! She is a wonderful lady.

The egg thing pretty well says it all about Berkeley. 

[meknewxenu]

I love her vision but she is completely disconnected with the bulk of the worlds population's means. She has a grand vision of food, but does not have the knowledge of economics. To say people shouldn't buy Nike shoes but grapes, is ridiculous and shows a lack of understanding reality This weakens her argument. She wants Shark Fin soup for her last meal, and a roaring fire for one egg is hardly conservation minded.

We need to change our diets but we need a real champion. Jaime Oliver!!

lets make tokens available at all farmers mkts for those who want organic food and use food stamps/ebt cards.. without this you are cutting out the poor from eating this food. this is true. only 1 in my area accepts ebt for tokens for food coupons. lets fix this.. wouldnr the farmers want that extra money?
