Alice Waters - Talk To Al Jazeera

Food should not be fast, cheap or easy, according to American chef and activist Alice Waters. "Usually cheap food is not nutritious," she told Al Jazeera's David Shuster. "You’re feeding people, but you’re not really feeding people something that is good for them."
For decades, the owner of the world-renowned Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley, Calif., has been famous for pioneering organic ingredients. “I don’t want food that comes from animals that are caged up and fed antibiotics," she said. "I am really suspicious of that kind of production of meat and poultry."
She also believes that the government ought to provide and pay for school lunch programs across the country. Plus, if you have just five minutes to shop and 10 minutes to cook, Waters shares some ideas for what she would whip up.
