Sacramento News and Review: Even for a woman as busy and accustomed to making her mark on American food culture as Alice Waters, this past week was eventful. Congress passed the Child Nutrition Act, a $4.5 billion, 10-year program that includes a $40 million provision for school gardens—a cause that Waters has championed as part of her plan for the “edible education” of U.S. children. The act also eliminates junk food and soda from school campuses nationwide. Waters spoke at the mayor’s monthly Greenwise Sacramento event last Tuesday and also made time for a quick chat with SN&R via telephone from her office at Chez Panisse in Berkeley.
