Chef Alice Waters on "Edible Education"

Alice Waters is a loon. Mass-production of food is VITAL in order to avoid a WORLD WIDE FAMINE. God I hate it when smug Berkeley morans think they know the answer to everything, but in practice, people end up suffering.

I know how you feel, and there is a big challenge but what I've seen (I'm married to a woman a bit like Alice) is that it is possible for everyone. When I first saw the documentary on Cuba's turnaround since they started doing what Alice says ... now they use very little chemical, 80% of Cuba is organic and there standard of living has grown. My wife has started an edible garden at the school she works at in central Australia and the kids love it. The future is very bright ...

I live in the Midwest. If I'm supposed to give up on oranges and tomatoes and live off of squash all Winter just because I'm not living in a temperate climate like California, then Queen Alice will have to tear the Bakers card from my cold, dead hands.

I agree 100% with her message; I live in a place where those markets and communities still exist and feel very lucky for it. But something about her manner just irritates the hell outta me, which is too bad because the message is right on.

preeeeeeeeeaching

Nice concept. I really like the message and agree with it.

Wow. No comments. Is anyone listening?
