Alice Waters, TV star

Alice Waters put in an appearance on television’s "60 Minutes" recently; the show focused on her work with edible schoolyards. (Deborah Madison is also involved with the school-garden scene and wrote about it recently on Culinate.) As always, Waters is the target of much adoration and opprobrium at the same time, loved for her efforts to change the way America eats as much as for her perceived elitism. But heck, if she can get the mainstream to budge even a bit toward better eating, more power to her.
