Alice Waters: “The Edible Schoolyard”- Video 2:48 min.
Posted August 4, 2009
Alice talks about the importance of exposing children to real food at a early age. People are starting to listen. First Lady Michelle Obama had D.C. children come to the White House and worked with them to create a home garden. This is a direct result of Alice Water’s campaign to educate our children about the importance of real foods. Alice had been advocating for the White House to establish a home garden for several years. It is amazing how one person’s passion can influence a multitude of people and eventually effect change on a global scale!
