Drowning in her own pomposity, here is wet blanket Alice's words of wisdom to President Bill Clinton:
"I can think of no more powerful way to ground your legacy than to leave behind you a kitchen garden and the compost pile to nourish it."
Forget world peace, balanced budgets or even playing saxaphone on Arsenio's show! No Bill, your legacy should be a pile of coffee grounds, manure and broken egg shells. I wonder if a blue semen-stained dress from The Gap will work in the compost heap, too.

If you make minimum wage or recently got fired, Alice Waters wants you to leave her planet:
"We have to get over the idea that food should be cheap ... The people who take care of our farms are treasures. And in terms of the damage to our health, our culture and our planet, that extra cost is nothing."
Obviously Alice subscribes to some theory of economic food Darwinism: only the rich who can afford heirloom navel oranges and grass fed lamb necks get to eat. The rest of us peasants can go the way of the Dodo bird.

Her fair trade pashmina dripping with condescension, Ms. Waters tells the rest of us how ignorant we are again:
"The most important thing that Michelle Obama did was to say that food comes from the land. . . . People have not known that. They think it comes from the grocery store.
"
What's it like on High And Mighty Mountain, Alice? Did a Sherpa have to guide you up there? Is the air very thin? Is that why such jackassy things come drooling out of your mouth all the time?

Whisper it with me: Liberté, égalité, fraternité...
"We make decisions every day about what we're going to eat. And some people want to buy Nikes, two pairs. And other people want to eat Bronx grapes and nourish themselves."
Let them eat cake---only if it's made from cage free eggs and organic flour! Just don't let them buy les footwear.
