Today’s Feature Friday is: Alice Waters. “Waters has improved the lives of children and adults by founding educational programs. In 1996 in Berkeley, she worked with the Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School, teaching students through “The Edible Schoolyard” to cook and eat the food they grew. Then with “The School Lunch Initiative” she began her journey to assist students to respect their environment and future by dining on local fresh food as a boon to their health, a message that impacted teachers and parents as well. Her words and ideas for organic cooking have been widely acknowledged nationally and internationally as important to sustainable living and more.
Alice Waters has made the connection between education that allows each child to thrive and her love of fresh cuisine and respect for the environment. Her passions have inspired people of all ages and have reminded us of the benefit of nature’s beauty and bounty.” https://www.womenofthehall.org/inductee/alice-waters/
