Alice Waters is another cool cool woman that I've only just gotten familiar with over the past year, but she's been causing a ruckus in the kitchen for quite a while now. She was one of the first advocates for the Slow Food movement and is famous for her Organic, locally grown, seasonal only restaurant Chez Panisse, in Berkley CA.
She and bunch of other farmer's market advocates recently sent a letter to President Elect Obama urging him to choose a Secretary of Agriculture who would work to promote healthier agricultural practices and try and bring healthy eating habits back into the American homes and schools.
In this interview with Tara Parker-Pope at The New York Times Alice talks about why this appointment is so important to her and why it should be to all of us as well:
