1. Food according to Waters can be a very valuable source to teach the American youth. More specifically, according to her, it can help teach democracy. Through her program, edible information children learn some core components of democracy. They learn "" farmers depend on the land; we depend on farmers; and our nation depends on all of us". So we must be able to interact positively with each other to help each other which benefits the community and at the end of the day we also benefit.
2. By understanding where the healthy foods come from kids understand where their food comes from. Thus, they become more aware of the community around them. With the knowledge gained the students then become more responsible and better people in general. She supports this claim by stating the school in Appleton Wisconsin has "transformed" troubled youth by serving healthier food and teaching the students about their food. I think her claim is a giant stretch and definitely could use more supporting information.
