We Are What We Eat by Alice Waters
In We Are What We Eat, Alice Waters urges us to take up the mantle of slow food culture. When she first opened Chez Panisse in 1971, she did so with the intention of feeding people good food during a time of political turmoil. Waters found that the phenomenon of fast food culture, which prioritized cheapness, and speed, was not only ruining our health, but also dehumanizing the ways we live and relate to one another. As Waters makes clear, every decision we make about food affects not only our bodies but also the world at large - our families, our communities, and our environment.
Alice Waters is a chef and the founder/owner of Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California. She has won numerous awards, including the National Humanities Medal, the French Legion of Honor Medal, the Cavaliere of the Italian Republic, and three James Beards Awards. As vice president of Slow Food International and founder of the Edible Schoolyard Project, she has helped bring food awareness to people of all ages all over the world.
