Alice Waters: 40 Years Of Sustainable Food

 

August 22, 2011

Four decades ago, restaurateur and food activist Alice Waters was at the
forefront of the now-flourishing locally grown, organic food movement.
Her Berkeley-based restaurant, Chez Panisse, has become one of the most
famous dining spots in America, known for changing its menu daily to
reflect what's in season and for sourcing ingredients from local
farmers.

But as a child, Waters almost never went to restaurants - and was
extremely picky about what she'd actually put in her mouth.

"My mother made a lot of things because she thought they'd be healthy
for us," she tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross. "There were some very
unfortunate experiences with whole wheat bread and bananas. I always
tried to get rid of that sandwich and eat one of my friends' lunches."

Waters first began to view food differently while in college, when she
left the University of California-Berkeley for a semester to study
abroad in Paris.
