There's a moment during her interview where Waters answer her critics by stating it's a choice between $4 grapes or 2 pairs of sneakers. That says everything. She has no answer for the families who can't afford either, and that's why her crusade is one of status, and explains why the unintentional results have been to put farmers who couldn't afford the 2 year certification process to be deemed a CSA, and couldn't compete with those farms who did. We're now passing laws forcing restrictions on farmers, limiting private farming, and putting a stigma on sending food out of State. The right answer, Alice Waters, is that food shouldn't be a financial sacrifice, and that everyone should be able to afford grapes of that quality without paying $4..... but she doesn't care, because she can't fathom why a single mom on welfare can't bake an egg on an iron spoon using a recipe out of a Dungeon and Dragons cookbook.
