Alice Waters–Edible Schoolyard Takedown in the 'Atlantic Monthly': Wrong, Wrong, Wrong
Her article was certainly an assault. If anything, it countered the righteous St. Alice followers with just as much righteousness as they spout. In this argument, like most arguments, it's unlikely that either extreme is right. There is nothing wrong with kids learning a bit about nutrition. Gardening is not an useless activity, provided it's used as a platform to teach many other lessons about science, etc. And on the other side, it's a fair argument that we cannot cheat kids on reading, writing, and arithmetic -- those are just simply too vital to success in later life. After reading the Atlantic Monthly article, I agreed with the point that gardening and nutrition lessons are fine, but not at the expense of teaching any of the core reading, writing, and arithmetic skills. If gardening and nutrition are in fact compromising other parts of the curriculum, then that's a shame and a waste of taxpayer dollars.

In Lyon, you should not miss Bernachon, the marvelously artistic and tasty chocolate store. It's arguably the most beautiful chocolates I've seen in my life (and that's a lot of chocolate shops around the world, mind you).
Also, you should check out the big market that Paul Bocuse helped revitalize. You can easily enjoy a wonderful lunch there. I recalled a wonderful version of Saint Marcellin cheese, but I cannot remember the fromagerie -- it's right as you enter the building.
We also had very good meals at Le Garet and Brasserie Georges.
