From chef and food activist Alice Waters, an impassioned plea for a radical reconsideration of the way each and every one of us cooks and eats
In We Are What We Eat, Alice Waters urges us to take up the mantle of slow food culture, the philosophy at the core of her life's work. When Waters opened Chez Panisse in 1971, she did so to feed people good food during a time of political turmoil. Over the years, she and her partners realized that fast food culture, which prioritized cheapness, availability, and speed, was not only ruining our health, but also creating many of the world's most serious problems - from social unrest to environmental degradation.
Fortunately, there is a solution. Here Waters shows us how to eat food in a "slow food way," so that each of us can be empowered to nurture the values of stewardship, nourishment, community, and equity.
This is a call to action against fast food values, and a working theory about what we can do to change the course. We have the power to choose what we eat, what we teach and feed our children in the public school system. Through food, we have the potential for individual and global transformation. All it takes is a taste.
