- #170: Alice Waters' focus on educating young minds about where real food comes from, how to identify and prepare it, and how food relates to all facets of our lives and cultures has inspired many. She shared her latest plans and emotional motivations with Dave in California in January of 2024, as part of a broader conversation about the organic movement.
Alice Waters is the founder and owner of Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley, California, known throughout the world for its dedication to local and organic foods and seen by many as the first restaurant to offer what’s become known as California Cuisine. She is a huge advocate of improving school lunches in the US and is the creator of Edible Schoolyard, a curriculum that brings gardens and kitchens into public education. Alice is a Real Organic Project Advisory Board member.

The Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.
The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).

We believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.
If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000 Real Fans!

Excellent conversation to be shared on primetime TV if only possible
An emotional genius with the right message! This “queen bee” is flying high!
Thanks for your lifetime dedication to the growers, like me!
I absolutely love your ideas, Alice. The placemats are a good "foot in the door" with the school systems. They're so attractive and illuminating and kids will read them. Placemats could be a gateway to policy....methinks.
I am so grateful for growing up in California in the 60's , food education by all the hippies , gourmets , health food stores , gave me a healthy organic lifestyle to this day . The 60's were a truly magical , enlightening time and I've always been so grateful !! ❤
I am excited to have a President in the White House running this great nation who believes in the people and what we are capable of. Robert Kennedy Jr is a healthy person who is ready to disrupt corporate greed and has the skill set to do so.
I learned through him what happened to the pork farmers in this country.
Thank you both! Let’s talk about more of what we wish to experience. I love what Alice has focused on and is sharing here about the art of possibility.
Law of attraction will guide us beautifully ❤🙏🏽🥰 and the earth is the conduit for positive changes.
I am excited to read your next book!
It is ironic that her vision is the same as the people that put the original country schools together.
They were always placed on at least 10 acres for the purpose of supporting a milk cow.
The children would being their lunches but, they were to have fresh raw milk as their beverage at lunch.
This will NEVER happen in America. Do you realize how many parents are feeding their kids lunchables and sugary drinks?? We need to educate Americans first. If that is even possible. Americans want convenience without getting dirty. And look at the kids.. A direct result of irresponsible parenting. America is doomed. We should be focusing on saving the third world countries from our negative influence. But we cannot mind our own business either.
Yes, SAD (standard American diet). For those who care, it's not a world we would want to live in for many other reasons, too.
